  30. The online school experience

  31. Welcometo the Online Learning Experience! We will be discussing three main subtopics today. 1 3 2 Academic Integrity Pacing and Work Ethic Communication and Learning Tools We will be here for you every step of the way. Ok.

  32. 1 Academic Integrity Doing your own work.

  33. How else will my teacher verify that I’m doing my own work? Discussion Based Assessments – A phone call with your teacher to discuss what you are learning. Your teacher will be able to assess what you understand about your content area during this call. Proctored Exams- A password will be provided to access your exam and your teacher will monitor your progress. Honesty Matters- We are committed to your success and we trust that you will make the right decisions in regards to academic integrity. Academic Integrity

  34. 2 Communication and Learning Tools Take the initiative!

  35. Communication • Phone Calls • Email • Assignment Feedback • Text Messages • Tutoring Days • WOW Days/Meetings Your teacher cares. They want to answer your questions. They want to hear from you. Communication is the KEY to SUCCESS in online learning!

  36. Leon County Virtual School recognizes that email is a valuable communication tool in our society and an essential part of the LCVS experience. In order to help us successfully address concerns and questions, please follow these suggested guidelines: • Emails should be kept professional. Keep content short and to the point. • Always include your name and the class you are in • Emails should contain a clear, short description of email in subject line • Include your full name in the close of your email. • Do not use “cell phone text” abbreviations or slang in email. • Be mindful of spelling; perform a spell check before sending out. • Avoid putting text in all capital letters for importance, this can be conveyed as yelling or set a different tone in the email than your intention. • Do not include any personal or sensitive information about a student or staff member in an email. This should be handled over the phone or in person. • Emails are considered legal documents. They are part of a discovery process under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP). • Teachers will not respond via email to discuss contentious, emotional, or highly confidential issues. These issues are best handled by phone or in person.

  37. 3 Pacing and Work Ethic You must work on the work.

  38. What is pace? • Pace - the rate as with something gets done. • It is your schedule of assignments that you are required to complete each week! • Our weeks run Monday through Friday. • You can work weekends, but use it to work ahead! Pace Chart

  39. Don’t sprint through the course. You have to give yourself time to learn the material and absorb the concepts. However, don’t crawl through the course so slowly that you lose focus. Keeping a steady pace that we’ve set for you with the pacing guides will keep you on track. Schedule Yourself. Our Goal is to keep you working at a steady pace that will keep you moving and motivated but will not overload and stress you out. A little bit every day works best.
