Easy To Use Online Learning Platforms
The first step to offering online learning is to choose a learning platform to post your activities and lessons. Below are a few examples of effective online learning platforms.
Once you choose an online learning platform, you need to decide how you would like to structure your lessons. Please refer to the example lesson template and example lesson tabs on this site.
Lastly, a best practice is to create a screencast to send to students and families that explains the structure of what your online enrichment will look like. For example, your screencast could show parents and students how to access the online platform, how they can expect to complete the activities, and how to access their Google Calendar to see scheduled meets and office hours.
