Personlize lessons for your students! Work with topics they're interested in. Make sure your slides are visually pleasing and engaging -pictures, colour-coding.

Tips: use breakout rooms, have pairs/groups work on different shared slides, use chat for written interaction, do task-oriented activities to engage everyone.

Grade your language down and keep your instructions as simple as possible. Model the activity!

Generally, it should be short extra practice (not an essential part of the following lesson): a short video/podcast, an online gap-fill or a matching activity.

Clear (brief) instructions, gestures, visualization, open questions, eliciting vocab/grammar/ideas, s-s interaction (PW, GW), self-correction.

Make sure you present it in clear context, ask leading questions and provide encouraging feedback to show that they're on the right track.

Having a camera on is a must! Also, encourage your students to turn it on. (gestures, facial expressions, overall more enjoyable)

You can use Sticky Notes in Ggl Jamboard or text boxes in Ggl Slides. If you have a pdf mat, cut up cards using Snipping Tool and insert them on slides.

Every single lesson must have an apropriate goal and a clear plan how to achieve it. What is your student going to learn and will be able to use actively?

Online lessons are often slower. Forsee what'll be challenging for your students and what can be skipped if necessary. Do not leave out free practice!

Contact your Senior Teacher or the Directors of Studies. They'll help you!

Store your elaborate virtual whiteboards/materials. Make a copy, adapt them and reuse them with different students.

Be patient. Use engaging materials/visuals. Have students work together or in pairs to complete tasks.
