Ontario Learn at Home

                  Future History Lesson

As students are home practicing social distancing and how to properly wash their hands, Ontario unveiled a learn at home webpage.  This webpage gives students, and parents a variety of resources that will allow students to continue to learn the curriculum. Students can continue to learn science and technology, mathematics, and language. The website also shares guides on how parents can help teach their children while they are at home.

Although this resource is great, it still may not be accessible for each student. Some students and families may not have a way to access online resources. As many families come from diverse backgrounds understanding the material can be problematic, especially if there are not strong English literacy skills. It also does not provide any differentiated learning. As Ontario just announced that schools will be closed at least until May, I look forward to seeing the e-learning plan that they unveil. 

I wonder if it will provide access to every student. I also wonder if students will be graded on the work they do? How will this be monitored? What a crazy time we live in.
