Advice for parents
The most important way that parents can assist their students during this time is to help set the right environment for study. This can be done by:
1. Ensure your child has a quiet place to complete their work and engage in online learning. A pair of earphones can help block out background noises.
2. Be sure you check with your child that they know their schedule.
3. Discuss the work with your child.
4. If it is clear that your child is having difficulty completing the work due to technological, language or any reason, please contact the teacher. There are EAL and Learning Support specialists available to assist. Students and parents can also contact their homeroom teachers or relevant coordinators.
Online learning occurs in two main categories.
SYNCHRONOUS
Students and teachers occupy the same digital space and interact live, at the same time.
For example;
Students participate in a live video session hosted by the subject teacher.
Students participate in a live video session hosted by the Homeroom teacher
Students participating in a live, online discussion being moderated by the teacher
Students collaborate through video on groups on work
ASYNCHRONOUS
Students are engaged in work but not interacting with the class and/or teacher at the same time.
For example;
Students complete an exercise posted on Managebac
Students view a a recorded video recorded by the teacher
Students view a resources video posted by the teacher
Students contribute to an online discussion forum with written comments
