This past fall, Independent Teacher Magazine published my article, "Learning Online: Supplementing Classroom Instruction with Virtual Review Sessions." Although I encourage you to read the article in full, here is the gist:
- For many students and parents, the value of an independent school education lies in the personal connections that students develop with intelligent and caring faculty and staff.
- At the same time, new technologies are transforming teaching and learning. As educators, we must recognize that the growing use of technology and the increasing availability of high-speed Internet-connections present tremendous opportunities for us and our students.
- Over the last several years, a number of websites have emerged that enable entire classes to meet online, unrestrained by the confines of the school building and limits of the school day.
- These websites, many of which I have used with students, have the potential to supplement our teaching as well as serve as key elements in school-wide emergency planning.
The article has more to offer, so check it out.
