This month's blog is
Ways To Teach Social-Emotional Learning Skills Online
.
Social-emotional learning provides students with the opportunity to
develop key life skills. Even as learning moves online into virtual
classrooms, it's essential that you create an inclusive, respectful
and inviting class community. Despite the distance, there are still
ways to effectively teach these core skills, whilst creating a
supportive learning environment in which students can thrive.
Guest Blogger Katherine Rundell is a successful writer at
Australianhelp, where she regularly writes about teaching, including
ways to improve online teaching and learning. When not writing,
Katherine enjoys spending time reading and doing yoga.

the year. In this blog post she goes though time saving ways to use
Google Forms in the elementary classroom.
