Digital Home Base for Blended Learning
Creating a digital home base is essential for students to thrive in blended learning. This centralized hub serves as a go-to resource offering everything they need for success in the course.
At its core, the digital home base must include:
- An up-to-date class calendar.
- How-to guides covering various topics, including technology.
- Organized resources, categorized by units or assignments.
- Clear outlines of assignments, possibly linked to the calendar.
- A policies page or syllabus.
- A communications page detailing the best methods and response expectations.
In simple terms, this digital hub acts as a one-stop-shop for students and parents providing engagement and support crucial for effective learning.
It’s imperative to establish this hub which can be facilitated through platforms like Google Classroom or a custom class website. Google Sites offers a user-friendly option while other website builders are also available. However, consulting with your technology team before setting up a website is advisable.
Distance learning can exacerbate attendance issues, making an online hub vital for keeping students informed about class activities and materials. Providing a shortened URL for quick access to the digital home base, using services like bit.ly or tiny url, can further streamline accessibility.
Google Classroom serves as an exemplary home base, offering a homepage for navigation and a classwork page for accessing resources and activities. Similarly, Google Sites provides a customizable platform suitable for housing class information and materials.
Various website builders, including Wix and Google Sites offer intuitive tools for creating a digital home base. Additionally, Google Classroom and similar web-based tools can fulfill this purpose effectively.
For teachers new to these platforms, comprehensive guides and instructional videos are readily available through resources like the Google and Youtube. It’s essential to utilize resources tailored to the latest versions of these platforms for optimal functionality.
Establishing a digital home base ensures that students have easy access to essential course materials and support, fostering an environment conducive to blended learning success.
