Plato Academy Schools’ Distance Learning PlanWhat is Distance Learning?Distance learning is a process that allows us to keep students on track for the 2019-2020 school year while we are closed during this time. A variety of online platforms (websites) can provide virtual classrooms for teachers and students with standard-based content. Teachers and staff have the ability to easily and effectively guide students in these virtual classrooms and virtual learning opportunities.
Plato Academy Schools has worked to develop a distance learning plan to fit our student needs for each grade level due to this health related closure. Our teachers have created lessons with continued high expectations and rigor to support our student learning. The assignments are focused on building key skills, reviewing content, and challenging our students with higher order thinking, reasoning and problem solving.
The main instructional platform students will be using is Google Classroom. In addition, students will be using Google Hangouts (video conferencing), Pearson, Learning A-Z (Raz Kids), Nearpod, Seesaw, Khan Academy, BrainPopJR, Istation, Kahoot, Quizizz, Quizlet-live are some of them.
