Stacy Gauthier, Private Consultant for Pedagogy and Technology, Middle Grades Science Department Head and Grade 5 Teacher, Natick, MA

How does today's classroom differ from the one we experienced when we went to grade school and secondary school? Why did students struggle with online learning? What online platforms and tools can teachers employ to get kids engaged if learning is remote? How can you best support teachers as they shift to online learning or teach in a face to face classroom that is drastically different from the one students typically experience? In this talk, Stacy Gauthier will explain why the pivot to online learning caused so many issues for teachers and students, and will show you some of the online tools that exist to help teachers engage students in the remote learning environment.
