Hi everyone! I’m @lindasteer, Assoc Prof of Art History and Visual Culture in the @miwsfpa at Brock University. It’s great to have the opportunity to present a keynote in such a unique format for @OpenArtHist #OAHdebrief2020 1/
Both @brocku and I are in St Catharines, Niagara Region, in Ontario, the traditional lands of the Haudenosaunee and Anishnaabe peoples. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum agreement covers this area and all of us who live here. #OAHdebrief2020 2/
This means that we share this land & ensure the dish is never empty – we take no more than we need – and we use a spoon, not a knife, and keep the peace. I’m a settler and am grateful for the resources and friendship of First Nations, Métis, & Inuit people. #OAHdebrief2020 3/
Talked to some teachers yesterday about how we can build asynchronous approaches into synchronous sessions. Curious if anyone is doing this or has any ideas?

Some context: many educators are being forced to offer sync sessions, but they recognize this is not ideal. So trying to help folks work within this constraint...also thinking about #ZoomFatigue for both teachers and students.
We talked about keeping the Zoom running and giving students an assignment in the middle of the sync session. Put up a slide that says "Writing Time" or "Reading Time" or whatever, and give them 30 minutes to go do that thing, but room is open if they want to chat.
Real quick thread on the value of going scriptless in your instructional videos. This came up in the session I facilitated earlier today.

First off, if you need to use a script. Use a script. What do I know? And, I invite you to reflect on that choice.

Many instructors use a script to avoid making mistakes in their videos. Here's the thing: THE MISTAKES ARE THE BEST PART. The mistakes are where you show your humanity and heart. That's where you teach students how to make mistakes and keep going.

As more of us in #HigherEd are #MeetingOnline or #TeachingOnline, we are also getting unwanted guests. Here are some tips on controlling a #Zoom room that may help prevent #ZoomBombing. #SAChat #AcademicTwitter (1)
First, do not publicly provide classroom or meeting links unless you must. (2)
As host, you can enable a waiting room so you control who enters. The host has to approve who is admitted into the meeting. This can work well for a classroom when you know students’ names. For more information (FMI): support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/artic… (3)
Good morning! I have a question: Is there a platform out there that links kids with virtual teachers (over zoom, paid online)? The online teaching works well in our house (kids like it) but I don’t know where to find interested teachers for different subjects. Any ideas?
Also very happy to sponsor a few kids if such a platform exist! Please send ideas!
I spent a full day teaching my @ColumbiaLaw Negotiation class online today. I know that many educators, from my fellow adjuncts to full-time faculty, are also moving their teaching online at lightning speed. 
Some tips for teaching online follow, in the style of @mch_tweets. #LawTwitter @zoom_us #TeachingOnline #AcademicTwitter
