Chatting with my theoretical frameworks: Live sessions on Instagram as an opportunity to reflect in times of coronavirus

Abstract

From May 2 to July 4, 2020, I carried out a series of live sessions on Instagram (or YouTube) with experts in pedagogy, didactics and educational technology from Argentina, Spain and Chile. The initial objective was to reflect on the sudden virtualization of our classes due to the Social, Preventive and Mandatory Isolation declared in Argentina in March of the current  year. The number of followers who joined the cycle of live sessions and its popularity made me think that it is a cultural trend worth reflecting on, and it is a good opportunity to build senses on what we are going through during these times. From these dialogues, categories arose to understand what is happening. Such categories are the bonding with students, the need to revise our teaching practice, the contents and activities, the focus of assessment and teacher training practice in teacher education programs.
