It also will ensure appropriate technological tools and resources that are part of students’ every day, media-rich lives are incorporated into the school day, making learning real and relevant to a student population that has never known a world without sophisticated technology. What's more, this robust online environment will meet the evolving needs of students and staff, facilitating teaching and learning, enhancing communication, strengthening the link between school and home, and ensuring operational and analytical excellence in the day-to-day operations of the school system.
How are digital learning days handled?
How will it work for students?
- On the day that school has been canceled, teachers will post assignments on their eCLASS C&I course pages. Elementary school assignments will be posted by 9 a.m.
- Students will use the My student portal to log in to their eCLASS C&I course pages where they will access assignments, resources, and other materials. If the power is out, a student may access the teacher’s course page when power returns. If a student does not have access to a computer or device (tablet, smartphone, etc.), the student can get the assignment once school resumes.
- Student work will be expected to be turned in to the teacher (either digitally or in person), using a school’s process for turning in work following an absence. For example, if your school allows students to turn in work two days after a missed day the Digital Learning Day assignments would be due two days after classes resume.
Teachers will share additional information with students about Digital Learning Days, including how they will support student learning during the day. (For example, some teachers may set up a discussion board while others may use online conference tools or be available via phone.)
