Online Learning

Online Learning has three aspects to keep in mind; online projects, collaboration sites and student publishing. Online projects allow students to be able to learn standards related content through online resources. Collaboration sites allow students to use technology to engage with peers or mentors outside the classroom or school. Lastly, student publishing allow for collaboration and allow students to publish original works. Examples of online projects, student publishing and collaborating sites are: Journey North, Dr. Math, Kidpub, ePals Projects and Classroom Search. Two examples of implantation of using online learning within my classroom are using Bugscope and allowing for penpals. There may be possibilities where I am not able to have easy access such as an electron microscope, using Bugscope, and I could have my students use an online project to learn this lesson. Another implementation could be allowing my students to collaborate with students outside of the school to interact and exchange school related information. Perhaps, the students would be penpals of sorts, too.
Using online learning can promote student engagement and student motivation, but also can allow for higher-order thinking questions within in the classroom. Online learning would place the LoTi level at level 4, however, if students do decide to use the student publishing sites and publish their work then the LoTi level would move up to a level 5. There are potential issues that can occur are that students are under eighteen. Students may speak to other individuals without moderation, as there could be possible inappropriate discussions. We can use password protection to limit audiences, educate students about Internet safety, allow student to use avatars and pseudonyms.

Please review my lesson template idea using the online project: Bugscope. Bugscope could be used as a introduction lesson to explain the microscope and show different examples of things under the microscope such as bugs before following the lesson about various cell parts and their function. This lesson is geared for grade five.
