Useful read Useful read for all teaching staff in these tricky times. Lots of good pointers and tips with food for thought
I've been a fan of Doug Lemov's work for many years--his Teach Like A Champion books are among the best I've read for improving the quality of instruction in any classroom. Therefore, I was eager to read his newest work, "Teaching for the Online Classroom," which was published in late 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. The only criticism I have is that I wish it would have been available at the beginning of the pandemic, because it is a tremendous resource for administrators, teachers...
This is a required read that was handed out now, a year into the pandemic. To be honest it’s not telling me anything I don’t already know and perhaps a way to cash in on the pandemic by having this as a reference 🤔 I think we will have another year of teaching like this then it will shift back the way it was.

Very easy to read. The subject matter is broken up into chapters that follow a logical flow, and the layout with boxed text and a summary at the end of each chapter makes it quite easy to follow. I can't help thinking that it would also lend itself to an ebook format because of the links it provides, which can be fiddly as you have to put the book down to type in the link on a device for reference.
I wish I read this book in March 2020.
This was an interesting read, but I think we're all hoping its usefulness has a short shelf-life. On a related note to the timing, I think I had probably figured out most of these tricks on my own by this point. There were a few highlights I'll take away, but I think this book is most useful to people who are (still) brand new to online teaching. In sum: good book, not incredibly useful to me at this point.
Great ideasAccessible ideas with tons of video examples. Practical, easy to integrate suggestions to improve both recorded and live lessons. Nice to have both US and UK case studies.
Helpful book is you are teaching now during the pandemic and still teaching remotely. Lots of great advice on how to navigate the virtual classroom and engage students.
Really useful, really clear. Great book for teachers to read and utilise during this period of remote learning.
I finished this book just as I was heading back into the classroom, but that didn’t matter as there was so much in there that I will take with me into brick and mortar lessons. I found remote teaching boring, frustrating, and lonely. I also found the amount of noise surrounding education in the media tiresome and it was hard not to be affected by it. However, this book held my hand through the highs and lows of lockdown 3, and reminded me of how adaptable schools are. We were faced with somethin...
Really useful for my teaching practice. I loved the links to the videos in the book so you could see how the teaching pedagogy looks like in practice. However, I just wish I would've read this sooner.
Best book about remote teaching that I’ve read so far! The talked about techniques and practices are practical and could be implemented immediately! The videos are so helpful for those people like meWho need to see it in action!! Highly recommend this book to other educators, teachers and even school administrators!
Although this book is obviously focused on the US approach of remote teaching, there are still relevant pieces to improve the practice of any teacher looking to increase the engagement and motivation levels of their pupils. Highly recommended for both tech savvy and novices alike.
An interesting read with a number of useful tips and lots of advice. Suitable for all school staff who find themselves operating in the online classroom regardless of experience.
Essential reading for the educator of today.
Years have passed since I have escaped school, and I am still amazed at the laziness doubled with arrogance of the teacher caste. Like soldiers knee deep in mud back at Verdun, these bums are ”surviving” in heated rooms, too dumb to adapt from standing in front of the class to standing in front of a camera.
As always, Lemov and Co have come up with a useful and practical guide for teachers, even ones who've been doing this for a while. Very much a child of its times, this book reviews the teaching lessons of Spring 2020 and looks forward to the next school year. At the same time, I think it will age fairly well as it asks us to look at the online learning environment and how to improve it for both students and teachers. I'll be using much from this, at least as a springboard for discussion, in my t...
As someone who enjoys using digital technology to enhance learning and teaching, this book acted more as a reflection tool. Having read lots and done a lot of professional learning throughout both periods of online teaching, I was encouraged to recognise a lot of my own practice within this book. It definitely would have been a game changer a year ago. Really useful for anyone starting to teach online.
I didn’t actually finish this book. It would have been great to read this book in June 2020 but by the time I read it, our staff had already figured out all of the suggestions in the book.
