  • It’s time for e-learning to become common place in public schools, starting with snow days.

      Just because students are not at school doesn't mean the learning stops. What instead of mandating kids have internet access at home, there are pre-made activities that don't foresee the dependency on the Internet and instead, can be approved by a parent/guardian signature that such learning activities took place during the day off school for whatever reason.
  • Online learning also helps teachers reduce their stress load. It provides a predictable avenue for educators to budget their curriculum goals with available teaching days. Finally, e-learning days provide students with academic consistency and predictability, eliminating any snow day confusion.

  • 1. Check with your state legislators and teachers’ unions about school day minimums and allowable teaching hours. Make sure that, legally, e-learning days are a possibility for your district.

      It would sure be nice if State Departments of Education got rid of 'hours' and 'seat time' requirements and just acknowledged that it saves time and money if we have students who are already demonstrating and can show competency and proficiency without having to sit and get.

    "Eleventh-grader Philip Marten's second-hour class is orchestra. But first hour, third hour, fourth hour and the rest of his school day are spent not at school but at home in Shawnee. Philip may look like any other high school kid, but in fact he's a "virtual" student. For him and others enrolled in virtual schools online, getting an education involves no bells, no lockers, no school plays, no marching band, no snow days and no cafeteria food."

    Please read and share this sort of communication in your communities. NOW is the time to social distance. NOW. Even though this will drag on. If we don't stem the immediate spread we will be Italy in 10 days.

  • Just about every district provides online tools for students and families, including parent portals that show things such as grades, missing assignments, even the balance in lunch accounts.
  • One big concern in online learning is the digital divide. Wealthier households tend to have the full complement of computers and high-tech stuff; poorer households do not.
