"Technology takes you beyond the classroom: as a digital citizen, you need to be productive, organised and act responsibly, safely and legally in the digital arena to protect yourself and your learners."
The digital Teacher is a site where you can go. It's a free site.
There are lots of platform, things like Google Hangouts, Skype, Zoom, WebRoom.
You can find Skype tutorial, Zoom tutorial, WebRoom tutorial.
Teaching reading, speaking, listening and writing online is different from the face-to-face environment, but that doesn't mean it's less effective.
Working with a group in a digital environment is different from those of a face-to-face group.
The first thing we can do is to model good communication and polite, respectful behaviour. We need to treat our students in the way that we expect them to behave with each other and show interest in their lives in the way that we hope they show interest in each other's lives.
If possible, use breakout rooms to allow for pair or small group work. This puts learners in control of the conversation and helps them get used to conversing online without you controlling the conversation as usually happens in the main classroom.
One aspect of teaching online that a teacher must consider is online security and privacy.
Teachers shouldn't use or share copyrighted material that they don't have permission to use online.
