There is quite a bit of information about how students can learn at home. Getting used to the various Learning Management Systems (LMS) may sound complicated but the opposite is true. Most home computer users are familiar with Microsoft programs like Word and PowerPoint. Some parents/guardians are more familiar with Teams, SharePoint, and OneNote. Others are familiar with Google Classroom and related Google learning applications. The main idea is to know when a student is using applications related to Microsoft Teams or Google Meet, for example, they are working with an LMS. Educators are providing content (learning activities, assessment and evaluation) and following their classes: managing the group. So, we talk about Learning Management Systems. More importantly, the purpose of all of our schools, elementary to secondary, is to provide the support, training and context for new digital skills. This site contains links to helpful tutorials that demonstrate applications for distance learning and how digital skills and on-line ethics are now a key part of student learning.
