K-12 online learning can be advantageous in a variety of circumstances, including inclement weather days and emergency remote teaching. With the lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic, many K-12 districts may consider ways to incorporate online learning into their regular school plans after they resume face-to-face instruction. However, the most challenges to online learning seemed to take place at the elementary level. This brings up an important question: What should elementary online teaching and learning look like? We examined six award-winning K-6 teachers' perspectives on and experiences with online instruction and practices for elementary students. The teachers suggested that online instruction to support elementary students' learning should be (a) organized, (b) engaging, and (c) interactive. Teachers also suggested that developmentally appropriate use of technology and parental involvement may foster elementary students' online learning experiences.
