27. Learning to Teach Online (Dr Sarah Krongard)

Teaching online requires different strategies and skills than those used in classroom teaching. There are great opportunities in online teaching, but there are also many challenges. To discuss the best practices for making online teaching a success, I am joined by Dr Sarah Krongard, Associate Director, Program Development within the Professional Education division of the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Sarah designs and produces professional development experiences for educators, particularly focused on using media and technology to facilitate effective teaching and learning. Sarah is a media education specialist with a doctorate from Boston University, where her research focused on the social, emotional, and cognitive implications of media engagement. She has been a teaching fellow and researcher at Harvard and Boston University, as well as an instructional designer at Lesley University. Sarah is passionate about harnessing the informal and formal learning potential of emerging technologies.   Twitter: https://twitter.com/sarahkrongard Harvard Graduate School of Education – Professional Education https://www.gse.harvard.edu/ppe
