Are Our Students Ready for This?
Just posting digital content and telling students to access may give students an opportunity to experience elearning, but you might need to teach them how to manage their time. Some tudents need to learn the skills necessary to become self-directed. Even successful students may be used to teachers telling them exactly what to do and when to do it. They all need to learn how to access and process content without a teacher or adult by their side.
By posting digital content, students can access the content anytime. Whether they were absent, missed class because of a lesson or appointment, or they lost the materials you handed out in class; students can now be responsible to help themselves instead of waiting for you to chase them down to give them what they need. Students can access your materials and resources anytime, anywhere.
