Engaging Students Through Online Learning


Elementary school students spend a large part of their free time engaged =
with technology or gaming. As a result, educators are challenged to =
captivate them in their learning using traditional methods.

Young students across the country are asking for increased access to =
technology in schools. In many cases, they are more comfortable engaging =
with technology than their parents and teachers. Speak Up, an annual =
national research project facilitated by Project Tomorrow=C2=AE =
(www.tomorrow.org =
<http://bb.blackboard.com/g/?UPI9KMI0TF:B7WDVYTUXN=3DssID:614832878,email=
:rjt@maximise-ict.co.uk> ), asked students, "what would you improve at =
your school to ensure that all students are successful?"


I would add online classes and give more freedom to the students. I =
would let students decide what they want to do for a project and give =
helpful web addresses."
- 5th Grade Boy, ST GILES SCHOOL, IL


By introducing the use of education technology early in the learning =
process, students develop critical thinking skills, work =
collaboratively, and gain technology competencies that are critical to =
success in the 21st century.=20
