An e-learning experience for students in 2nd grade at Spaulding School

￼

Gurnee School District 56

Spaulding School

Introduction to the e-Learning Day

The D56 e-Learning Day experience has been designed to engage students in continued learning on days when the district is closed due to an emergency such as snow or cold. This e-Learning book provides the starting point for each student’s day. While many of the learning activities and plans included in this book can be accomplished with or without access to the internet, the day will function in a more robust, engaging fashion with access to the internet. Video and audio instructions are embedded in this book, along with live links to activities and tools included in the lessons. If your student is unable to participate during the emergency day, alternative time will be offered allowing them to complete the work and receive credit for participation on the e-Learning day. The e-Learning day is not intended to place parents, guardians or babysitters in the role of teacher rather that of a guide to get started and a supervisor to make sure time is being used wisely. Parents, guardians or babysitters will be asked to sign off on the activity log included in this book.￼Introduction to E-Learning.m4v
