So we put together a little guide that outlines what we are thinking as the fundamentals of effective online teaching in a nutshell (or at least one of the nutshells!) Thought we'd share it in case it is useful: https://t.co/SG3gGf3F55 @UWinOpenLearn @UWindsor

@Tobias_Italia Love it. Used your idea of re-creating poetry from single words from poem you read aloud to your kids in #lockdown with my online teen class. Power to the Learner, this is what I've learnt from you & long-distance teaching so far #Elt #lockteaching ThankYou!

@jrinaldi25 @Ryanair Same here @Ryanair after 4-week-wait all I get is a voucher, mind you, this under 261/EU which rules that a refund is mandatory When one clicks on reject voucher & ask for a refund you get this https://t.co/Sjqu9QTOSi HOW TO USE A VOUCHER? @EUombudsman

[Joe Rinaldi @jrinaldi25]

What nonsense is this? @Ryanair - four weeks after I’ve already requested a refund, you’re telling me I’m not entitled to my own money?

[MariaConca @MConca16]

@Ryanair @jasonoh22 Always copy&paste or BOT @Ryanair Misleading information in their chats and 'Sorry we can't help' for refunds/complaints. @Ryanair (as usual) looking after the penny...or profits, shall I say?Appaling! Fly @easyJet there!

[MariaConca @MConca16]

@Ryanair @Ryanair CS reply to a (long) formal complaint about their TRAVEL INSURANCE mess-up literally 1min after sending it "we regret that our position as set out in our previous e-mail remains unaltered We are sorry that we cannot be of further assistance"Copy-&-Paste CustomerService😡

10 Ways to Increase Student Engagement Online https://t.co/5c6SAZE7zq di @eltconnect

[MariaConca @MConca16]

@chiara_bruzzano @teacherphili @telsig My tips: use Waiting room, 'Mute all upon entry' so you will unmute when participants raise hand to speak, disable 'Allow participants to share screen' in settings, disable 'Allow participants to annotate on your screen' #ZoomBombing twats use all these functions to disrupt.

[MariaConca @MConca16]

@jenjdobson I have more pre-teen courses starting next week.I'd love to hear what other Ts are doing and share my tips if that helps #TeachingOnline

[MariaConca @MConca16]

@jenjdobson @teacherphili @zoom_us @russell1955 Yes, you can change the settings in the screenshare advanced options. Russell's showing this towards the end of the video. Plus, on the main Zoom host page you can choose to disable private chats between Ss or saving oprions. My teens stopped teasing each other that way!
