Online Teaching in K-12, 2nd Edition
Models, Methods, and Best Practices for Teachers and Administrators
Edited by Sarah Bryans-Bongey and Kevin J. Graziano, foreword by Norman Vaughan
Since the publication of the first edition of Online Teaching in K–12, education has undergone two seismic shifts: the pivot to online teaching necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the rise of generative artificial intelligence tools for the classroom.
This updated second edition takes these developments into account, serving as a hands-on reference for education professionals—teachers, administrators, program managers, policy makers, and faculty in teacher preparation programs—who are seeking success in the planning, design, and teaching of K–12 online courses and programs.
