Pedagogy in the time of the Pandemic - a thread on peril and promise of education in the time of #COVID19 - my learning from efforts across the world #education #onlineteaching #edtech (1/n)
"Here, the struggle for survival has overtaken other aspects of growth, with education coming to be considered a privilege" - read the story of Vaishali shorturl.at/fkorM @IndianExpress 
The ongoing emergency will put further strain on hard-won gains in learning. Three possible scenarios: a lower average, a higher standard deviation, or a sharp increase in low learning at the bottom. @hpatrinos shorturl.at/dyJN2
Impact of school closures - Over the summer, children lose the equivalent of 3 months of learning. An 88-day teacher strike during primary school reduces annual labor markets earnings by 2.99%, as well as a decline in hourly wages. shorturl.at/chkR5 #COVID19
'Adaptive challenges cannot be solved in the same way as problems that are predictable and stable when technical solutions exist for the problems at hand. This is really a time to stand up for and with the children.' shorturl.at/kqtI6

Lessons from Katrina for #COVID19 - 1. Crises force us to adapt 2. People get comfortable with some of these adaptations. 3. our adaptations have indirect effects that lead to other changes. @BrookingsInst shorturl.at/izNTY
The Italian Lesson - "Maybe it would have happened anyway, but it’s changed how we see ourselves. The perfectionist has glimpsed a goal that’s deeper than marks out of 10. The teacher has become an accompanist and the gardener our guide." @gdnlongread shorturl.at/sEK58

When there is a will there is a way - 90% of Ms.Giulia’s teachers have only mobiles, limited data plans, and bandwidth issues. She has figured out a way to work around the constraint and start online teaching. @XSEEDEd info.xseededucation.com/lessons-from-a…
Kids continue to surprise us - how independent, self-directed, quickly learn tech they can be #onlinelearning #COVID19 @XSEEDEd
However, parents are concerned about bandwidth, social interaction, and screentime. Need to remember that all screentime is not created equal #onlinelearning #COVID19

@XSEEDEd
Get the kids to the doorstep. Support but do not become a backseat driver. Let children try, fail and learn. Have conversations with your child. You will be surprised #onlinelearning #COVID19 @AshishRajpal @XSEEDEd #ParentingInLockdown
Rule of thumb 1/2 and 1/2 for online (screen): offline (activities, reading, writing) learning interactions for kids. Break screen time in to chunks #onlinelearning #COVID19
