E-Learning Resources
In the past several years, the Indiana Department of Education has provided schools an option to make up weather-related cancellations using E-Learning Days. E-Learning refers to learning using technology to access educational curriculum and resources, communicate with teachers, and submit assignments. While many of our teachers use a blend of E-Learning and direct instruction on a regular basis in the classroom, in the context of E-Learning days to make up weather-related school cancellations, it provides an opportunity for education to continue outside of the traditional classroom.
Although the possibility exists, with our relatively mild winter, that we may not actually see a single snow day, weather-related cancellations moving forward will may be announced as E-Learning Days via our SchoolMessenger broadcasting system as well as normal radio, TV, and Facebook announcements. Please check your student’s school website for more specific E-Learning information and resources.
We believe the use of a well-planned E-Learning day can provide students with an opportunity for meaningful learning that is a continuation of classroom instruction. In this way, instructional time is maximized prior to high-stakes testing (ISTEP/ECA) administered in March through May, increasing student success.
