These days our phones are our lifelines and we use them for everything… even studying and therefore why not teaching? So how confident are you teaching an online class on your phone?

When the pandemic hit I was thrust into the world of online teaching like so many educators but the difference for me was that almost none of my ESOL students had access to a laptop.

This meant I had to think creatively and work around conducting lessons on phones.

This session will share some of my tried and tested practical tips for when a phone is all you or your learners have. Don’t underestimate the power of your phone as a teaching/learning tool…it could be the difference between a lesson or no lesson at all for your learners!

Our Masterclass workshops are typically delivered in 90 mins.

At Gallery Teachers, we endorse the philosophy of building on your previous knowledge and experience as opposed to just imparting knowledge on you. 

Therefore, in order to prepare you for the webinar and help you activate what you already know about the topic, we will suggest two to four reflective questions for you to consider before you join the event.

You will also be given the opportunity to post your reflections, along with any questions you may already have at the pre-watching stage, to the discussion forum. 

The reflective questions, as well as ideas and shared experiences posted to the forum by attendees, will be used in the real-time Q&A session in order to generate an engaging and meaningful discussion, involving the presenter and teachers from around the world. 

After the event, the forum discussion will take on a life of its own and teachers will be encouraged to continue posting their experiences, reflections and questions related to the topic of the webinar. So, if you feel strongly about the topic, we will make it possible for you to take the discussion beyond the scheduled workshop and continue sharing your ideas with like-minded teachers and teacher trainers from other countries
