Page 2 - Resources and Support for the Online Educator

Dear Reader,
We on the ISTE Books Team would like to express
our appreciation of both you and the work you do
helping students learn, and to offer our support
during this difficult time.
We feel that our authors are uniquely equipped to
support other educators due to their deep expertise
in areas like online learning, media and digital litera- cators deepen their teaching practice and remain
cy, myriad tech tools, and so much more. So, to help
you continue to do the great work you do, we have
assembled a collection of excerpts from some of
our books that contain strategies, tips, and insights
to help you navigate a landscape of online learning.
The activities and tools were selected because they
were designed for an online or home situation, or
can be easily adapted for such environments. We
are also including material to support you in terms
of well-being and self-discovery, through a lens of
technology use.
We’ve organized the material into three parts:
• Part 1, Online Learning and Accessibility, pro-
vides guidance for making lessons accessible,
using tech tools to teach online, exploring issues
such as equity, digital literacy, and more.
Author Statement
We as fellow educators hope this resource can provide some support and guidance during this period of uncer-
tainty. We stand by you and wish you the best in continuing to do the great work you do for your community.

• Part 2, Creativity, focuses on content designed to
keep students creatively engaged, with projects
and ideas that can be applied outside of a physi-
cal classroom.
• Part 3, Well-being and Mindfulness, offers mate-
rial on self-reflection and gratitude, to help edu-
healthy in the process.
Many of the selections are full chapters, with a few
shorter selections from chapters as well. (At the
end of this ebook, you’ll find links to the complete
books for further reading.) We hope this resource
can serve as a practical guide to help keep you
and your students healthy, engaged, and informed.
We welcome your feedback and requests for materi-
al that we can offer; if you have suggestions of what
type of content you would like to see in this kind of
resource, or in future books, please don’t hesitate to

are here for you as we continue to produce content
to help educators and students learn.
With gratitude,
The ISTE Books Team
