A timely guide to online teaching strategies from bestselling author Doug Lemov and the Teach Like a Champion team
School closures in response to the covid-19 coronavirus pandemic resulted in an immediate and universal pivot to online teaching. More than 3.7 million teachers in the U.S. were suddenly asked to teach in an entirely new setting with little preparation and no advance notice. This has caused an unprecedented threat to children’s education, giving rise to an urgent need for resources and guidance. Teaching in the Online Classroom is a just-in-time response to educators’ call for help. Teaching expert Doug Lemov and his colleagues spent weeks studying videos of online teaching and they now provide educators in the midst of this transition with a clear guide to engaging and educating their students online.
Although the transition to online education is happening more abruptly than anyone anticipated, technology-supported teaching may be here to stay. This guide explores the challenges involved in online teaching and guides educators and administrators to identify and understand best practices. It is a valuable tool to help you and your students succeed in synchronous and asynchronous settings this school year and beyond.

Good practice in bad times
Lemov knows how classrooms work. I have found this book both practical and encouraging in these tough times. I have been able to use it with my teachers and think other instructional coaches would benefit. These practices will have lasting results when we fully return to in person teaching. Good pedagogy should transfer over well between virtual and actual classrooms. The best teachers were ready for the closures.

Great tips for practical application at this critical time!
As someone who has been in the classroom for over 20 years, the monumental changes imposed by Covid can seem overwhelming. There’s a lot of advice floating around, but nothing I’ve read has been so practical. Reading how to incorporate Pause Points and Accountability Loops makes planning online lessons easier and saner. The straightforward and minimalistic approach to learning technology is also a relief; when so much is so new I appreciate the simplicity. I like that it’s a fast read with applications I can use right away. Since this is a much smaller book than Teach Like a Champion, I would also recommend that book for more content.

A Good, Quick Introduction
It’s not an in-depth manual for the new normal of distance learning, but it’s not supposed to be. Chapters are light reads that are focused on the basics of Zoom and Google Meets. Each chapter has helpful sidebars that summarize the key points for easy reference. The book is very dog-ear friendly for note takers. Followers of the 80-20 rule will love this book.

Doug Lemov Disappoints
If you have been virtual since last spring, you don’t need this book. Usually a fan of Doug Lemov, but this book does not talk about student engagement and accountability. Students need to realize they are an important part of this new “normal” education format and put forth the effort and focus needed to be successful. Doug gives the advice of “giving fish” instead of teaching them “how to fish.” Clearly this book was written quickly to make a buck off the current teaching situation. The video clips are clearly staged and do not represent a “real” classroom. Don’t waste your money.

Honestly lame
If I didnât have to buy this book for a college course, I wouldnât. Itâs very basic, boring and common sense. Donât buy it bless you have to-just use Google.
Shipping was fast and item arrived in perfect condition.

I finally put the book in the waste paper today. Content unsystematic, not research-based, absolutely outdated.

Accessible ideas with tons of video examples. Practical, easy to integrate suggestions to improve both recorded and live lessons. Nice to have both US and UK case studies.

This is not a book on online teaching. It rather explains, with multiple examples, how to apply and adapt the TLAC techniques in a brick-and-mortar classroom to the context synchronous and asynchronous remote teaching.
Unfortunately, the links for many videos don’t work.
