How to teach via Zoom
An observation of a 5th grade teacher
1
Mr. Lumpkin’s 5th grade zoom class looks like any other normal zoom class where all cameras are required to be on. However, he manages to create a uniquely welcoming environment by catering to his kids’ tastes—a 5 minute welcome window plays some soothing lo-fi music and the warm-ups right after also involve a lo-fi track. He keeps a calm demeanor while he shares small-talk interspersed in his lesson: things like the weather and upcoming football games. Overall there’s an air of being relaxed and keeping pressure low on the class.
