[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Teachers in the Busan area have prepared an online teaching sharing festival to share new teaching know-how in response to the COVID-19 situation.

Despite the frequently changing teaching environments such as delayed school openings, online openings, in-person openings, and adjusted density attendance, new patterns of classes such as online and blended learning are being introduced.

The Busan Future Education Institute (Director Ryu Seong-wook) Teaching Evaluation Support Center will hold the "2020 Growing Together Online Teaching Sharing Festival" in real-time online format using ZOOM every day at 3 p.m. from December 7 to 10 for about 830 elementary and secondary school teachers in the district.

On the first day, December 7, Kim Hyun-seop, director of the Teaching Design Research Institute, will give a lecture on blended teaching design under the theme "Blending Blended Learning."

On December 8 and 9, 58 teachers will present 44 various teaching and evaluation cases in 11 areas, including "Colorful and Creative Teaching Design."

On the last day, December 10, Professor Kim Hyun-jin of Korea National University of Education will give a lecture on the changes in future educational environments under the theme "The Role of Future Education and Edutech."

On December 8 and 9, a comprehensive performance report meeting of four middle schools, including Dongju Middle School, a policy research school of the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education for the 2020 academic year, focusing on writing and essay-type student evaluation research schools, will also be held simultaneously.

Participants can choose and attend six out of 46 lectures, including keynote lectures and teaching and evaluation case presentations. Souvenirs will be provided through a lottery among those who participate in the lecture surveys.

Kim Ok-sook, head of the Teaching and Evaluation Support Center, said, "The festival is meaningful as a place where teachers voluntarily share the results of their efforts to improve teaching and evaluation and grow together."

Kim said, "We will enhance teachers' professionalism and spread a culture of sharing teaching and evaluation that grows together."
