BIG CONCEPT

How do we (teachers) ensure that our students are learning and getting what they need? We need online learning tools and resources to make lessons engaging and FUN!

Choose learning platforms that you will use consistently!

  • Consistent use of the same learning platforms will ensure that your students learn more about using online learning tools.
  • Choosing various platforms that have different usernames & passwords can become confusing and frustrating for students and their parents

Virtual Learning Platforms

Class Dojo, Google Classroom, Classtag, Seesaw, Edulastic, i-Ready, Achieve3000, Flipgrid, Padlet, Kahoot!, Zoom .. just to name a few that RCS teachers already use!

  • There are numerous amounts of platforms that can be used during virtual instruction.

  • For Elementary, it is best to stick with platforms that students are already familiar with!

Are there any other virtual platforms used school-wide? Is there other platforms any teachers use that work really well? Share a quick thought on this padlet here
