Confidently Plan, Teach, and Engage Your Math Students with Virtual Learning Tools
(WITHOUT FEELING FRUSTRATED WITH NEW TECHNOLOGY, OVERWHELMED WITH PLANNING, AND PRESSED FOR TIME)
CREATED by:

The events of last school year hit our world hard and we were forced to transform the way we do school overnight.
While we met that challenge, as we always do, many teachers struggled with the new teaching technology and methods that replaced their familiar, traditional tools.
While the world may be getting back to “normal,” it’s a new normal– school as we knew it before March 2020 is gone, at least for now.
As we get ready to return to the classroom, many of us are returning to alternating instructional days, hybrid teaching models, or online modes of instruction.
This unknown territory can be scary and you may not feel like you are fully-equipped to meet the demands of our “new normal.”
How are we supposed to prepare for a new school year with such an uncertain future?
With a Set of Technology Tools to Help You Teach, Practice/Extend, and Assess Math Online
But, there’s just one problem: How do you find these tools and learn how to use them?
And most importantly, how do you tie it all together and wrap it up with a bow?
Maybe the panic-based instruction that resulted from the swift closure of schools last March left a lot to be desired so you scoured the web looking for tips and strategies, asking questions in Facebook groups, and creating makeshift document cameras and whiteboards to get the tools needed to teach math effectively during virtual learning.
Maybe you ended the school year feeling exhausted, inadequate, unprepared, and overwhelmed . . . so you’re apprehensive about starting the new school year and making it work.
We can engage students in authentic learning in a virtual learning environment. Don’t throw best practices out the window! Students can participate in collaborative groups and complete cooperative learning tasks together virtually.
We can teach new content and use hands-on activities in a virtual learning environment. There are so many tools you can use to teach your content, including pre-made videos, video creation tools for teacher-made videos, digital notetaking resources, and virtual manipulatives.
We can differentiate learning and meet the needs of all learners in a virtual learning environment. Small group math instruction . . . yes you can! You can even use digital whiteboards with students so they can “show” you their work.
Let’s get you the tools you need to feel confident using virtual learning tools to teach, practice, extend, and assess math content and skills.
You’re a ROCKSTAR friend! You can teach in a successful virtual learning environment where you:
All you need is the training and tools to reimagine learning and look at math in a whole new way so you can help your students become successful mathematicians no matter whether you’re teaching in-person or from a distance.
An exciting and fun, 5-hour professional development workshop that guides you through a step-by-step process to teach, practice/extend, and assess math virtually with a focus on teaching math effectively using best practices.
I’ve taken my 18 years as an innovative teacher and everything I know about using technology to engage students and scoured the internet looking for tools to help you create math lessons that are easy to follow and make learning virtually fun and exciting. The proof will be smiling students who feel connected to you, their classmates, and the learning, as well as, parents who feel their students are getting the same education as they would during in-person schooling.
The Level Up Online Learning Teacher Academy is the ONLY program of its kind that:
Is Focused on Math First and then Technology
This program is designed to focus on teaching math . . . period. Once we know what we need to teach, we can decide what technology tools to use to help us achieve that goal.
Teaches You How to Teach Math Using a Variety of Virtual Learning Tools
I’ve done all the research for you! I’ve found a number of virtual tools you can use to plan, teach, practice, and assess learning. You decide which ones are most appropriate for you and your students.
Helps Teachers to Take What They Already Do Well to the Next Level
We know what our students need to be successful math students, but it’s time to create a new “normal.” We can take our existing math lessons and recreate them with digital learning tools for a “new and improved normal” where students are engaged 100% of the time and working together just as they would in the classroom.
Here’s how I’ll help you get there:
All great lessons start with a plan! And, adding technology to the lesson makes the decision-making process even more essential. In module 1, we will look at the “big picture” and iron-out several details related to how your math block is structured and how you plan to share assignments with students.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Once you have a solid plan, it’s time to teach. You may be surprised to hear that you can teach new content in a virtual learning environment. And yes, you can give students access to virtual manipulatives they can easily manipulate on screen and create opportunities to guide and facilitate student learning. In module 2, we look at tools to craft your lesson and help students process their learning.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Let the fun begin! After we teach the content, it’s time to practice. From digital task cards and math menus to virtual partner games, your students will love practicing their math skills! In module 3, we’ll dive into developing practice and extensions that are sure to engage students.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Assessing students today helps us know what to do tomorrow! Once students have a chance to practice and extend their learning, it’s time for them to show what they know. In module 4, we’ll explore assessment tools to use at different stages of the lesson cycle.
HIGHLIGHTS:
The learning cycle wouldn’t be complete without opportunities for students to communicate. Student-to-student interactions can and should be happening online. And, technology gives us some exciting ways to do that. In module 5, we explore virtual learning collaboration strategies, structures, and tools.
HIGHLIGHTS:
We’ve created our lesson and we’re ready to execute it. But, we need to set-up our systems and communicate expectations. In this bonus module, we get to the nitty gritty of creating systems, building community, and teaching digital citizenship so our students have a clear idea of what is expected of them.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Here’s what you’re getting when you enroll today:
Each video includes a detailed description of tools and apps you can use to plan your lessons, teach your content, practice and extend student learning, assess student understanding, and communicate thinking. The bonus video includes tips and strategies for setting expectations and building community in a virtual learning environment.
After completing the course, each participant will receive a certificate of completion that includes continuing professional education credit equal to 5 hours issued from The State of Texas that can be shared with your campus administrator or district officials.
Designed as a companion to the course videos, the workbook includes space to jot notes, as well as, a “Decisions” worksheet and “Now Do” list for each lesson to help you process your learning and prepare your first lesson. The workbook also includes links to lesson resources, apps, and tools.
Course members will be invited to join a private, 6-week group where you can get support, ask questions, and collaborate with Shametria and your fellow educators.
Once a week, Shametria will go live in the Facebook group to answer questions submitted by course members.
Need a quick tutorial to learn how to use one of the cool tech tools featured in the course? Get access to 14 tech tutorials where Shametria walks you through how to use the tool or complete the task.
Get access to a variety of resources to help you get up and running with virtual learning, as well as, the templates used in the videos, including weekly math assignment templates, math menu templates, game templates, math notebook template, and math journal template.
Want to know how to create a Google Site, set-up Google Classroom, or prepare a digital math board game? Shametria will conduct four live tutorials based on feedback from course members. The recorded tutorials will be added to the Tech Tip Library after each event.
In this set of bonus videos, I demonstrate how to use the 5E Model of Instruction to design virtual math lessons and learning experiences for students. I also walk you through transforming an in-person Explore activity into a virtual one and demonstrate how to create a learning path with the 5E Model in mind. Lesson plan templates included.

Are You Ready to Level Up Your Online Learning?
I’ve been a lover of technology for many years! From taking coding classes in high school and college to building websites and teaching robotics– technology is my jam! But, the most important lesson I learned is– it’s not about the technology– it’s about you!
How we use technology only determines how our students will learn not what they will learn. We design the content, technology just makes it better!
We’re all facing an uncertain school year. Whether you’re preparing to teach 100% virtually or juggle in-person teaching and remote learning students, there are simple structures you can use to deliver your content and achieve the results you want.
Let me show you how to do it!
