I am a retired math instructor from Richmond Public Schools. I have always tried to stay up to date with the changes that are occurring in the college classroom and to include technology into the lesson plans. I've been teaching at J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College for several years. Since Reynolds was forced to go online because of the Pandemic in 2020, I have taught all the different types of class structures: asynchronous, hybrid, and hyflex, as well as ZOOM lecture sessions.
I use the modules on CANVAS to present the course objectives and concepts. The students are encouraged to stay on task by following the “Pacing Chart” posted in the Syllabus icon on CANVAS. To keep the students engaged in the class, announcements are posted and sent in an email to the students.
In my lecture classes I encourage the students to participate in the class by going to the board, and they are put in groups to complete some assignments. This gives the students the opportunity to explain the work to each other. For the ZOOM lecture classes I use the Breakout rooms to put the students in groups to complete group assignments.
To help the students be successful in the class, videos and notes are posted on CANVAS to cover the objectives and concepts for the course.
I encouraged my students to ask questions and stay after class if they need help.
