Learning to Teach Online.

During this time of global pandemic brought by COVID19, technology has


changed the nature of education and the jobs of educators. In the implementation
of blended learning to respond to continuity of learning, schools were directed to
establish a learning continuity plan to ensure that education will continue amidst the
COVID19 pandemic.
Online teaching and learning is one of the solutions. What is online teaching?
Online teaching is the process of educating others via the internet. Various methods
can be used, such as one-on-one video calls, group video calls, and webinars.
Teachers were trained and engaged through a series of webinars and tutorials
and various online learning platforms, methodologies, and other procedures were
also used for them to be equipped with the essential skills to adapt to the needs of
the time.
Learners and parents were also oriented about the different means and other
procedures of how the new normal way of teaching and learning.
Online teaching is a big challenge among teachers because not everyone
knows how to use technology or the internet.
Internet Safety for Students

Being a teacher of the 21st century, it’s important to recognize that students in
modern times are surrounded by technology not only at school but also outside of the
school environment. Whether they have a smartphone in their pocket or require a
tablet, or computer to complete in-class assignments, and search for information, the
internet is available almost everywhere. It is now a necessity. In this regard, it is
imperative that teachers must educate learners on how to responsibly use the internet
that is, a need for internet use education is necessary.
In addition to the information discussed by the speaker, social media has also
become indispensable in the world of internet technology. Teachers are facing
challenges to the prevailing disinformation being spread online which are polluting
and manipulating the minds of the young who uses social media.
Propaganda, disinformation, misinformation, and fake news have the potential
to polarize public opinion to promote violent reactions and hate speeches, and, to
eventually undermine democracies and reduce trust in the democratic processes.
It is imperative for schools to provide students with a solid education on media
and information literacy as part of the curriculum. Teachers must be well-trained in the
subject to empower students with the necessary competencies to critically
understand and assess information reported by all forms of media.
