9. CONSIDERATIONS FOR STUDENTS W HO DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE
TOOL(S): EVERY student in my cyber class has access to a computer.
They should each be able to complete every activity using the
computer if necessary! For those who do not have a smartphone or
tablet to use a QR reader on their mobile device for the videos,
they can click on the link directly on the whiteboard to watch the
videos using their computer. For those who do not have a smartphone
or tablet to use the Group Me texting feature, they can utilize the
chat box within the virtual classroom to communicate and
collaborate their made up nonsense words. For those who do not have
a smartphone or table to use Poll Everywhere for the assessment,
they can use their polling tools within Blackboard Collaborate to
respond to the assessment.
10. MANAGEMENT OF THE TECHNOLOGY TOOLS: These students are in
first grade and cyber school from home. Each student and their
learning coach (parent/guardian) are responsible for making sure
the computers provided are in good working condition. If a student
has access to a smartphone or tablet, the learning coach will be
responsible for making sure the student is using it in the proper
manner and at the proper designated times throughout the lesson.
Cyber education alleviates the management responsibilities off of
the teacher. Learning coaches at home become the accountable
party.
