Short Description

K-12 online learning can be helpful in multiple circumstances, including inclement weather days and emergency remote teaching. However, elementary teachers have expressed concerns about teaching online courses. Research on elementary online teaching and learning is less comprehensive. Therefore, we examined what technology-savvy K-6 teachers considered critical in elementary online instruction. They suggested that providing organized, engaging, and interactive online instruction is essential. Moreover, technology use and parental involvement may foster elementary students’ online learning experiences.
