Pbs Learning Media: Strategies to Build Engaging Digital Lessons for High School Students

In this blog, a teacher offers strategies for building engaging digital lessons as a result of the Covid Pandemic. My first task is to figure out how to make my lessons clear. I am working without the benefit of being able to circle the room, providing clarifying directions and directly addressing students who may need additional scaffolds or support. Therefore, the lessons I create need to have relatively simple learning objectives. Although critical thinking remains important, this is not the time for multi-layered assignments that require the interplay of several objectives and different roles for students.
