Fun and Play in Remote Learning for Young Children

Two webinars on early learners and virtual classrooms

In early 2020, New Teacher Center hosted two webinars on how to bring the power of play and fun into a remote learning environment:

Play in Remote Learning

Key themes included: using technology to create engaging games that include all learners, the importance of family communication, using play as a means to drive learning development in a virtual classroom, and adapting (not eliminating) play-based techniques to meet each learner where they are that day.

Speakers:

  • Priscilla Lindsey, Early Childhood Educator, Prescott Elementary
  • Lisandra Barajas, Early Childhood Educator, Prescott Elementary
  • Lisa Peloquin, Instructional Designer, New Teacher Center
