DISTANCE LEARNING PLATFORM

1. What is distance learning?

Distance learning is where the instructor and students are physically located in different locations. We are asking our staff to create high quality opportunities for students to continue to engage in learning from home during this closure. Your child(ren) will have approximately 2-3 hours of school work to complete each day via Google Classroom.

2. How can I best support my child(ren) with distance learning?

Create a designated place for your child(ren) to complete work. This could be a desk, space at a table, or even a lap desk. Set aside time daily for students to complete their work. Familiarize yourself with Google Classroom and have your child(ren) show you their work daily.

3. How can I enhance my child(ren)'s learning experiences?

Check out some of the virtual experiences ideas we have put together. These experiences allow the real world to be brought to you.

4. What is Google Classroom?

Google Classroom is a platform that will allow students to engage in their work. Teachers can post assignments, videos, notes, presentations, and discussion questions. Students are able to turn in assignments, answer discussion questions, and access materials their teachers have posted. Please review the MPS Parent Guide to Distance Learning to access the Parents' Guide to Google Classroom and other resources for Google Classroom.
