- working in small groups with others in your classroom;
- working in small groups via computer;
- searching on the INTERNET.
- Before the end of the day, you will upload what you have done during the day. You will add comments to the online class discussion.
- The next morning, you download what other students have written, as well as your new work for the day. You can reply to what the other students and teachers have said when you upload your work in the afternoon. And so it goes.
For some classes, you will have a text (like a Math text, or English novel or short stories.) For other classes, you will do lots of searching on the INTERNET for the materials that you use.
