"content": "\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many educators work in the classroom from 8am to 3pm, teaching students in a specific age range or specializing in a particular subject. For those who want to contribute to their community outside of the classroom, by either helping fellow teachers come up with great ideas or by supporting students who need extra help and expertise, there are multiple opportunities available. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Serve as an Online Academic Tutor\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Online tutoring is one of the most straightforward ways for educators to reach out to their local student population. Students may need help studying for entrance exams or they may be at risk of not fulfilling their educational goals. Teachers can offer generalized tutoring that includes study skills or core subjects or they may have a specific expertise in something like ESL, technology, engineering, or a foreign language. The best thing about one-on-one tutoring is that a teacher can mold the session to meet a student’s individual needs. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">My experience has been helping students bridge the gap when it comes to preparing for standardized tests. As many teachers agree, a real-world language arts and literature curriculum, for instance, can be very different from the test-taking skills students must master before taking a standardized exam. Many high schoolers become frustrated with the excessive drills required to succeed on these tests. My goal is to help them study efficiently, with an individualized plan, so they can keep their main focus on classroom work.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you’d like to offer online tutoring to help in your community, companies such as \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://tutor.com\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tutor.com\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.wyzant.com/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wyzant\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.brainfuse.com/Home/about.asp\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Brainfuse\u003c/span>\u003c/a> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">serve as a marketplace for connecting educators and students.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Share and Sell Your Lesson Plans Online\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">A less obvious, but very important, way for educators to reach out to the student community is to help their fellow teachers with lesson plans. Our colleagues are always looking for the next greatest lesson plan or something creative to make the core subjects more interesting to a classroom of 30 youngsters with short attention spans. In the past, teachers were only able to create lesson plans for themselves or fellow teachers within their school, but now companies such as \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_MILLION_DOLLAR_LESSONS_MIOL-?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Teachers Pay Teachers\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> offer a convenient online platform to share lesson plans and ideas with teachers nationwide. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I’ve shared a few lesson plans over the years and found that it was not only a great way for me to contribute interesting ideas, but was also an opportunity for me to think in detail about my own lesson plans and what I wanted my students to focus on as a learning objective. Shared lesson plans can be highly intricate, such as a pop-up paperboard Egyptian pyramid project aimed at sixth graders to complete in art class, or something relatively simple, such as holiday coloring sheets to keep third graders busy if a main lesson plan ends earlier than expected. Sharing ideas with teachers in a digital community helps people on both ends of the classroom and supports a give-and-take within a thriving academic community. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Contribute to an Online Education Blog\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Educators who have a little bit of time here and there might enjoy writing for an education blog. Coordinating an entire blog is a giant time commitment, but there are many excellent sites to which teachers can contribute on a monthly basis. Also, you may consider working with colleagues in your school district to create a blog that meets the specific needs of local students and teachers. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the best things about contributing to education blogs is that it gives teachers an opportunity to share personal experiences, from engaging a classroom with 40 plus students to coping with budgetary issues to dealing with the latest difficult topic in the news. In addition to following KQED’s \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/education/collections/in-the-classroom/\">\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the Classroom\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/a> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">blog, check out \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://teach.com/teach100\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Teach.com’s ranking\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> of education blogs.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Serve as an Online College Scholarship Mentor\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most students have access to a college counselor at their local public school, but many students don’t have access to services that help them transition financially from high school to college. There are many students who could use a little extra guidance, whether they reside in the foster care system, are applying through an international scholarship fund, or come from a home school system. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I have worked with a few students who applied for full scholarships in the United States, but, because they lived internationally, didn’t have access to college counseling services through the U.S. public school system. No matter where they live, students who are relying on scholarship money to attend university often need help organizing essential deadlines, filling out endless forms, and figuring out how to fit their entire life’s story into 550 words.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Teachers who want to become a mentor can check out \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://educationusa.state.gov/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Education USA\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://www.fosteringchange.org/education/scholarships-for-foster-youth\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fostering Change\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n",

For those who want to contribute to their community outside of the classroom, by either helping fellow teachers come up with great ideas or by supporting students who need extra help and expertise, there are multiple opportunities available. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Serve as an Online Academic Tutor\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Online tutoring is one of the most straightforward ways for educators to reach out to their local student population. Students may need help studying for entrance exams or they may be at risk of not fulfilling their educational goals. Teachers can offer generalized tutoring that includes study skills or core subjects or they may have a specific expertise in something like ESL, technology, engineering, or a foreign language. The best thing about one-on-one tutoring is that a teacher can mold the session to meet a student’s individual needs. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">My experience has been helping students bridge the gap when it comes to preparing for standardized tests. As many teachers agree, a real-world language arts and literature curriculum, for instance, can be very different from the test-taking skills students must master before taking a standardized exam. Many high schoolers become frustrated with the excessive drills required to succeed on these tests. My goal is to help them study efficiently, with an individualized plan, so they can keep their main focus on classroom work.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you’d like to offer online tutoring to help in your community, companies such as \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://tutor.com\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tutor.com\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.wyzant.com/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wyzant\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.brainfuse.com/Home/about.asp\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Brainfuse\u003c/span>\u003c/a> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">serve as a marketplace for connecting educators and students.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Share and Sell Your Lesson Plans Online\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">A less obvious, but very important, way for educators to reach out to the student community is to help their fellow teachers with lesson plans. Our colleagues are always looking for the next greatest lesson plan or something creative to make the core subjects more interesting to a classroom of 30 youngsters with short attention spans. In the past, teachers were only able to create lesson plans for themselves or fellow teachers within their school, but now companies such as \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_MILLION_DOLLAR_LESSONS_MIOL-?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Teachers Pay Teachers\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> offer a convenient online platform to share lesson plans and ideas with teachers nationwide. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Shared lesson plans can be highly intricate, such as a pop-up paperboard Egyptian pyramid project aimed at sixth graders to complete in art class, or something relatively simple, such as holiday coloring sheets to keep third graders busy if a main lesson plan ends earlier than expected. Sharing ideas with teachers in a digital community helps people on both ends of the classroom and supports a give-and-take within a thriving academic community. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Contribute to an Online Education Blog\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Educators who have a little bit of time here and there might enjoy writing for an education blog. Coordinating an entire blog is a giant time commitment, but there are many excellent sites to which teachers can contribute on a monthly basis. Also, you may consider working with colleagues in your school district to create a blog that meets the specific needs of local students and teachers. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the best things about contributing to education blogs is that it gives teachers an opportunity to share personal experiences, from engaging a classroom with 40 plus students to coping with budgetary issues to dealing with the latest difficult topic in the news.

It’s really important to do well in the class and have plenty of time to study, but it’s also essential to maintain a personal social life of some kind — get out of the home and into the real world for a little bit each week. In fact, I notice my students stress levels can get very high unless they arrange time to socialize. It’s something I try to combat early on in the term.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>3. Take any opportunity to interact with the educator\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Most online educators offer students at least some real-time interaction, through a Skype meeting, email or instant chat. I work with students as a supplemental educator, so they can chat with me anytime by appointment, but I still encourage them to interact with their primary instructor as much as possible so they can fully engage in the material and ask questions about difficult concepts or discuss something they find particularly interesting.

If a student is studying art history, for example, I encourage visiting a local art museum to get an idea of what the textbook is really describing. If a student is studying business I encourage seeking out a mentor or setting up an informational interview with someone at a local corporation.

"content": "\u003cp>Ed Tech is everywhere, and it’s making education easier for teachers and students. Technology opens up an entirely new realm of possibility when it comes to convenience and problem solving, but it also has its challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the last few years, supplemental educators — tutors, therapists, special education teachers and college prep consultants — have been using online technology to work with students living in geographically diverse areas. For the most part, the online format works really well with high school students, who are mature enough to manage their supplemental education services and show up on time while in the comfort of their own homes. However, the independence of online education can be problematic when working with younger students who don’t yet have well-established time management skills.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Connecting Over the Internet\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Keeping middle and high school students engaged is a consistent struggle, which gets more challenging in an online setting. Technology can pique students’ interest, but it can also end up being a brick wall if they aren’t comfortable with the technology or don’t know how to use it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If I live in the same town as a student, I visit the home to set things up and make sure everything is working properly. But when students are located in different cities or states, I need the help of a teaching assistant or parent to solve technological problems in person. Even with the best preparation, it seems like the Internet is always crashing or Skype wants to do a ten-minute update just as a session starts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether working in an online setting with pre-teens, older teens or adults, similar questions arise. How do I know if they’re paying attention? How do I know if they’re learning anything if I’m not in the room with them?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fortunately, there is a lot of interactive software available that allows me to view what students are doing in real time and provide visual elements to their curriculum. However, I’ve found that even once students are comfortable using the technology, I still face the task of keeping them entertained and motivated. Young learners are big on achievement, so I started researching apps and games that have varying levels of achievement or offer other reward systems that help them concentrate and build confidence. Students of any age have to view working on the computer as a positive element of their education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When working on a tight budget (like I do), utilizing cost-effective technology is a must. Skype and Google Hangouts have their technical difficulties, but they are both free and easy to use. Originally meant for business, \u003ca href=\"https://www.join.me/\">Join.Me\u003c/a> is free and great for keeping track of a student’s computer screen. And YouTube provides great one-way communication for circumstances when my students and I can’t meet in real time. In fact, I can sign up a whole classroom of kids in different places and keep track of who watched what by looking at the View Counter on my private YouTube channel. Google Docs allows me to see what my students are writing in real time, and I can loop parents in when necessary, and \u003ca href=\"https://selfcontrolapp.com\">Self Control\u003c/a> cuts out social media so students can concentrate.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Building Rapport and Developing Maturity\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Building a positive relationship between online teacher and student is important to overall success. Although instructional minutes are important, it’s also essential that a student and teacher develop a good rapport so they can engage in conversations as they would in a traditional classroom environment. If students feel that the person on the computer is “real,” they are more likely to follow directions and take advice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although traditional study tactics can work well with older students, if I ask young kids a closed-ended question, I find they’re not fully participating in the session. They start looking around the room or disconnect mentally from the session. Instead, I try to encourage them to figure out the best way to use the technology based on their independent learning habits. They need to play an active role in their sessions, whether it’s something as simple as rearranging their work spaces, or something more complicated like researching new apps or finding information that will help them learn proactively. Many young students are great with technology and can actually show me ways to make our sessions more effective.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Common Pitfalls\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>One of the most common pitfalls when working with elementary school kids online is their ability to deflect away from the task at hand. They know that their teacher isn’t actually in the room with them, so they look for ways to avoid completing tasks. In many cases, students spend more energy stalling than they would have if they jumped right into the assignment. For me, managing a one-on-one session is a lot more challenging online unless the student has developed the maturity to be a self starter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When working with a high school student, I can get by talking to a parent on the phone once a week — after a regular schedule and set of goals are determined. College prep students should transition to independence at this point anyway. But while a 16-year-old can reasonably concentrate during an online SAT session, a third grader is more likely to leave the session or avoid paying attention to my instructions. When working with younger kids, a parent (or any other responsible adult) can help them get situated and check in periodically during the lesson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nevertheless, even with educators and parents working together, patience and practice are both key elements to making online supplemental education work — for students of any age.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Technology opens up an entirely new realm of possibility when it comes to convenience and problem solving, but it also has its challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the last few years, supplemental educators — tutors, therapists, special education teachers and college prep consultants — have been using online technology to work with students living in geographically diverse areas. For the most part, the online format works really well with high school students, who are mature enough to manage their supplemental education services and show up on time while in the comfort of their own homes. However, the independence of online education can be problematic when working with younger students who don’t yet have well-established time management skills.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Connecting Over the Internet\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Keeping middle and high school students engaged is a consistent struggle, which gets more challenging in an online setting. Technology can pique students’ interest, but it can also end up being a brick wall if they aren’t comfortable with the technology or don’t know how to use it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If I live in the same town as a student, I visit the home to set things up and make sure everything is working properly. But when students are located in different cities or states, I need the help of a teaching assistant or parent to solve technological problems in person. Even with the best preparation, it seems like the Internet is always crashing or Skype wants to do a ten-minute update just as a session starts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether working in an online setting with pre-teens, older teens or adults, similar questions arise. How do I know if they’re paying attention? How do I know if they’re learning anything if I’m not in the room with them?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

However, I’ve found that even once students are comfortable using the technology, I still face the task of keeping them entertained and motivated. Young learners are big on achievement, so I started researching apps and games that have varying levels of achievement or offer other reward systems that help them concentrate and build confidence. Students of any age have to view working on the computer as a positive element of their education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When working on a tight budget (like I do), utilizing cost-effective technology is a must. Skype and Google Hangouts have their technical difficulties, but they are both free and easy to use. Originally meant for business, \u003ca href=\"https://www.join.me/\">Join.Me\u003c/a> is free and great for keeping track of a student’s computer screen. And YouTube provides great one-way communication for circumstances when my students and I can’t meet in real time. In fact, I can sign up a whole classroom of kids in different places and keep track of who watched what by looking at the View Counter on my private YouTube channel. Google Docs allows me to see what my students are writing in real time, and I can loop parents in when necessary, and \u003ca href=\"https://selfcontrolapp.com\">Self Control\u003c/a> cuts out social media so students can concentrate.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Building Rapport and Developing Maturity\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Building a positive relationship between online teacher and student is important to overall success. Although instructional minutes are important, it’s also essential that a student and teacher develop a good rapport so they can engage in conversations as they would in a traditional classroom environment. If students feel that the person on the computer is “real,” they are more likely to follow directions and take advice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although traditional study tactics can work well with older students, if I ask young kids a closed-ended question, I find they’re not fully participating in the session. They start looking around the room or disconnect mentally from the session. Instead, I try to encourage them to figure out the best way to use the technology based on their independent learning habits. They need to play an active role in their sessions, whether it’s something as simple as rearranging their work spaces, or something more complicated like researching new apps or finding information that will help them learn proactively. Many young students are great with technology and can actually show me ways to make our sessions more effective.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Common Pitfalls\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>One of the most common pitfalls when working with elementary school kids online is their ability to deflect away from the task at hand. They know that their teacher isn’t actually in the room with them, so they look for ways to avoid completing tasks. In many cases, students spend more energy stalling than they would have if they jumped right into the assignment. For me, managing a one-on-one session is a lot more challenging online unless the student has developed the maturity to be a self starter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When working with a high school student, I can get by talking to a parent on the phone once a week — after a regular schedule and set of goals are determined. College prep students should transition to independence at this point anyway. But while a 16-year-old can reasonably concentrate during an online SAT session, a third grader is more likely to leave the session or avoid paying attention to my instructions. When working with younger kids, a parent (or any other responsible adult) can help them get situated and check in periodically during the lesson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nevertheless, even with educators and parents working together, patience and practice are both key elements to making online supplemental education work — for students of any age.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>English language learners (ELLs) need more than just conversation and writing skills to be successful. American English, like any dialect, contains many nuances, idioms and humor that are confusing to students who are taking courses in their second language. Many of my ELL students are either taking English courses while living abroad or are preparing for entrance exams so they can attend school in the U.S. Their various exams and assignments require them to know American English from the inside out. Because I cannot realistically travel around the world to meet with all of them, I work with free online media tools that allow me to create a virtual classroom and share educational media documents with students separated by distance.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Connecting Students and Teachers\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The first issue I ran into when creating a virtual classroom was coordination. Participants were living in different time zones and had Internet access at different times of the school year, so it was important to find a tool with a ton of storage capacity that would allow me to easily update materials from year to year while conserving time. After researching, I decided that the best choice would be to create a \u003ca href=\"https://support.google.com/plus/answer/6320407?hl=en\">Google Circle\u003c/a> — the only base requirement is that everyone needs a gmail address. After adding my students to the Circle, they were able to view everything I posted from the beginning to the end of the term.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>An Online Classroom\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In order to provide a social element to this online learning network, I recorded some very basic videos on my iPad and uploaded them to YouTube as “unlisted.” (This is a free and easy way to record lessons in a classroom or home office.) Once I put the links in the Circle, they were visible to all students and the videos could be watched and rewatched as often as necessary. Depending on a teacher’s specific requirements, students can either be sent home to watch videos at their convenience, or educational clips can be shared within a classroom environment. I also provided a lesson with each video, whether it was meant for the TESOL, SAT or ACT exam. All the materials I used were free for everyone to access, so any interested student could participate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take, for example, the SAT reading comprehension sections. Both the old and new versions of the test sections are dry, to put it mildly. Even students who speak English as their native language find themselves reading these passages over and over again trying to figure out what’s going on while the clock runs out. For an ELL, “reading in-between the lines” can be even more difficult. Embedding videos and discussions of an educator explaining a specific sentence or question allows students as close to an interactive experience as possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Visible Emotion\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The extra benefit of adding a recorded audio-visual element is that it gives students the opportunity to see my face as well as my reactions to different reading comprehension assignments. This helps students decipher American humor and understand different emotions behind words. A student might ask me what it means when a character in the text was “feeling under the weather,” which makes no sense at all when translated literally. After I’ve gathered enough of these kinds of questions, I can film an explanatory video in as little as 24 hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Continuing From Year to Year\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The most convenient thing about this teaching method is that it provides continuity from one year to the next. Previous videos and information can easily be saved and stored for future students to view. Although there are a few organizational issues (for instance, the earlier videos get automatically categorized to the right-hand side of the screen), I can easily comment on, update and delete older information. A Google Circle also allows teachers to share supplemental educational materials with students who have questions or want to do further study. Students can collaborate with each other or write to the teacher privately in a standard email format.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Classroom Applications\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Teachers of ELLs who get to see their students in a brick-and-mortar classroom can also use free media tools (such as a Google Circle and YouTube) for extended homework assignments and test prep study. When teachers have 40 plus students in a high school or adult-level classroom, they won’t get an ideal amount one-on-one time, but they can still interact with students in a recorded format and personalize the English language–learning experience. This can also be really helpful for educators who team teach, job share, or work with teaching assistants in the classroom environment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",
