Teachers offering active online teaching?

Just doing a poll.

By online, I mean posting a video lesson, delivering a class via Google Classroom or Zoom or similar.

Versus passive teaching ie uploading work on a website or by email.

I'm trying to workout where my DC's school stands in this. Very traditional grammar and so far, teaching online has been passive. I know friends with children in independent schools or international schools abroad where teachers are actively delivering lessons online.

@Porseb, this article has some stats: www.google.com/amp/s/schoolsweek.co.uk/coronavirus-teachers-warned-against-live-streaming-lessons/amp/

My year 9 is at a grammar school and has no live/pre-recorded teaching at all. I think it’s insufficient and I have written to the head.
DD (at prep) has lice zoom lessons for all her subjects - at it’s not chias you just mute the girls when required.
DS2 prep, but year 7 has about 50% live lessons on Microsoft teams.
I also do zoom brownie sessions for my brownie pack (26 girls) and it’s not difficult. You obtain consent and stick to guidelines.

Elite schools in Asia, where the kids outperform pretty much every UK independent school, expect students to only have 10 minutes of zoom time at the start and end of lessons. Such time is designed to set up the lesson and provide structure.

If those schools don't see the need to use Zoom (when you'd get 99% attendance), then maybe it is pedagogically not so useful.

I personally think that if a load of students just didn't turn up to zoom lesson in the UK, that would allow those who are earnest to get a bit more attention. Great.

The majority of those students at elite schools in Asia are also getting private tuition on the side (probably online now too)

WJEC A2 Further Maths Matrices Finding the inverse of a 3 by 3 matrix

We have been posting videos like these with the solutions. Pupils can email their teacher if they can’t obtain the correct answers.
