I observed a few teachers teach online this spring, both in a public school setting and in private school activities.

*** The bottom line is that a good teacher will rise to the occasion, regardless of familiarity with the technology or comfort with the videoconference nature of the teaching. ***

The teachers who I knew to be mediocre in their intelligence, patience and educational resources, fared the worse! They got impatient, overwhelmed, did not know how to discipline wayward students, and ended up exhausted and unhappy.

The teachers who I knew to be passionate, smart and resourceful, even older teachers who at first had difficulty navigating the various platforms and the different rhythm involved in online conversations, did very well indeed, and managed to keep their students' attention, channel the students' energy, and provide quality content.

So... the problems will be exactly the same as before. Good teachers will stay good teachers. Bad teachers will always be bad teachers.
