In this session, Herbert will reflect on his experiences of teaching a group of ten-year-olds online in the Covid 19-generated learning situation, and he will discuss the relevance and applicability of his experiences to working with teenage students. He will make a number of propositions and give some practical tips aimed at enriching the teaching methodologies widely used under the current conditions. His propositions will also create a positive link between current and future classroom experiences, helping to make those more meaningful and fun to the students– hence more memorable. Finally, he will elaborate on the challenges for many of us posed by the current situation. He will discuss what we can do to maintain the positive attitude we need in order to cope with the unexpected, so that we can more readily access our own inner resources and keep connected with the values and the vision that initially motivated us to become teachers.
