Online Learning

Online Learning

1. Challenge:Students will need to know how to work different computer software to make sure their learning is beneficial.

   • Solution: Offer a computer class for students to take before they can use computers in the classrooms. In the class offer students examples, videos, and hands-on practice.
   • Solution:As you teach a lesson, teach the technology as well. Students will be able to use this knowledge in further lessons.

2. Challenge: How is using technology in classrooms, for more online learning, more beneficial for students than traditional learning.

   • Solution: You are teaching students technology that they can use in real life situations, not just the classroom. A solution to this question would be to show students a short clip explaining how the skills they learn in the classroom they can use later in life.
   • Solution: Using technology in the classroom, you can change the traditional lesson from just a lecture to using a video or interactive powerpoint.

3. Challenge: The cost for schools and parents of online programs and for computers for each student.

   • Solution: For the cost of software, schools are able to use free programs for students and they are able to get software for a discount because it would be for so many students.
   • Solution: For computers for each student, you can get computers for each classroom instead of each individual student. Schools can also get grants for technology devices because not only can students use computers but they can also use iPads or tablets.
