to Dig it!
Overcoming one of the biggest hurdles of Digital learning is when students need and share support with their classmates and teachers. Without direct interaction, students face the challenge of new learnings, normally available in in-person learning, seldom seen in Zoom / Meets.
So, we taught students how to use email from 3rd to 5th grades. Students emailed their teachers with questions and got answers! This helped build community and improve learning. Was that enough? No. We also encouraged constructive “chat” in Zoom or Meet. Of course, all supervised. Students Dig it!
