eLearning Help from CES Instructional Coaches
-
The purpose of this page is to give teachers resources to help them develop & maintain an online learning environment including example lessons in READING, MATH, & SCIENCE with the focus on communication, instruction and feedback.
Some have dabbled, and others have soared in using online learning platforms for blended & flipped learning, but due to school closure, teachers are working with urgency, diligence and possibly a little apprehension to set up platforms and procedures to continue teaching and learning remotely. As we jump in with hands-on, just-in-time experience in researching, exploring and learning new tools for providing instruction, communication and feedback to our students, hopefully we will see the potential online learning has to amplify learning.

Scholastic At Home (AMAZING!) - Cross-curriculuar learning activities organized by the day! There are "continue the learning" activities at the end of each article. These would be GREAT discussion starters in Google Classroom and would be fantastic topics for conversation in a Google Hangout!
