• Post information on a regular schedule, including: Weekly overviews , and daily check-Ins and announcements

• Make time for students to interact with you via web meetings.

• Provide just-in-time support for parents through virtual office hours and other resources.

Best practices remain “best” when learning online:

• Start with your TEKS.

• Limit Time

• Plan for change, and provide options and choice. Every student will have a different home learning environment.

• Think of resources to provide both students and parents in your new online classroom

More than ever, students need to interact with others:

• Let students share with other students.

• Give students ways to work with one another.

• Comment on Student work.

Once per week, get evidence of what each student has learned:

• What shows fundamental knowledge?

• What shows advanced skill?

• Is there choice in product?
