PARTICIPATORY LEARNING
Instead of working independently, students collaborate and work with others. Research has proven collaboration to be a more effective style of learning.
Students discuss notes, materials, activities, and questions with classmates. Connections are made between what they know, what others know, and what is being taught.

CHANGE FOR THE BETTER
Incorporating virtual learning activities can encourage collaboration.
Blogs and wikis are quick and easy ways to implement collaborative learning.
Course Management Systems can be established to allow for one on one interaction with teachers. Lessons can be posted online and students take control of their learning.
FILLING THE GAPSReading Options
Improve reading instruction by posting reading assignments online. Response opportunities and comprehension questions can be included using an online learning module.
Allow students to read and comment about the thoughts of others.
Submission of assignments through the website.
Links to other reading support websites.
FILLING THE GAPSTeaching 21st Century Skills
In elementary schools, students are just beginning to learn about computers and technology. Using online learning promotes 21st Century skills.
Students learn 21st Century skills including: keyboarding, use of mouse, search engines, hardware, websites, e-mail, etc.
Students become familiar with the Internet.
“By including the Internet in classrooms, teachers can assist students in becoming active participants in the construction of their own knowledge.” (Hargis & Schofield, 2007)
FILLING THE GAPSABSENT STUDENTS
Students can view lessons when unable to attend school.
Notes and lessons can be posted online for review and discussion.
Homework and assignments are available.
Assignments can be completed anywhere and at anytime.
“Students expect to use computer-related technology in their coursework, and to gain the skills they will need to use the technological tools required of their careers.” (Gillard & Bailey, 2007)
SUPPORT AND SUGGESTIONS FOR INCORPORATING ONLINE LEARNING
Develop an action team
Create a vision
Establish goals
Allow flexibility
Anticipate change
Focus on the big picture
Stay committed
Be positive
ENJOY THE SUCCESS
Teachers are leaders and need to be willing to try something new.
Teachers make a difference!
Students will be interested, motivated, prepared, and learning skills in a very powerful way.
“To integrate technology into the classroom, a sincere, meaningful connection must be built and sustained with the in-service teachers. (Hargis & Schofield, 2007, p. 44)
FINAL THOUGHTS
Times are changing and we must adapt. Students are different than in the past.
Schools need to adapt and keep up with the changes in society.
Necessary steps need to be taken to ensure the success of our students and secure a positive future for all.
