Af...Am taking an grad level online education class. After a 53 digital page reading assignment there was a 22 question (accountablility) quiz that is auto-graded. Not one of the questions was even on the topic of the reading. The professor did not make the quiz, she cannot view it, nor can she change the quiz. She can only 1) give a student more points than the system did or 2)drop the quiz from the students total score. "High tech" is not there yet.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16260937353581813707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-16931806906110038272020-03-23T20:55:35.641-04:002020-03-23T20:55:35.641-04:00My husband's school district looked at online ...My husband's school district looked at online instruction and couldn't find a way to meet FAPE with what was available. (a variety of income levels but majority qualify for free lunches, lots of ESL and a variety of spec ed needs), so they will not be requiring students to do work online during this school closure. They did complete their second year of 3 work from home snow days, but they did special projects tailored to them for those and not regular classroom work. <br />My high school junior in another district also takes several college classes online all the time. Those continue, but the regular high school classes are just on hold, not online. She misses the teachers---and if given a choice would choose a live teacher over computer learning every time.kghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11152719516197876921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-25129111715776674302020-03-23T18:18:38.747-04:002020-03-23T18:18:38.747-04:00Yeah....ask my son how he likes this ed-tech crap!...Yeah....ask my son how he likes this ed-tech crap! His private school went online last week....they are trying to keep them slightly engaged in the learning process. Every time he goes on NoRedInk, there is much cursing, stomping and yelling coming from his room. Khan Academy is offering nothing but Common Core, mind numbing dittoes via computer. GIGO...garbage in, garbage out! edblisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01792046029260177146noreply@blogger.com
