6 Steps to Make The Most of Virtual Learning in K-12 From kindergarten to 12th grade (K-12), students across the globe—or rather, from your school—are tuning into your screen. Although virtual learning is new in the mainstream, it's not a new concept at all. Because of this, there are already best practices in place to make the most of virtual learning. The list below contains six steps you can adjust to any grade to turn the hurdle of virtual learning into an empowering educational tool. 1. Keep It Simple Help your students adjust to virtual learning by making the learning process simple to follow and understand. You can also take steps to simplify assignments for students who have limited access to resources. Some students may not have access to printers and scanners at home. So instead of homework, assign classwork, simplifying workload. Display the assignment on your screen during a lesson. You can then request that they submit their work by taking a photo of it and sending it to you via your email or a social media channel. Monitoring their work and who is tuned in (no more hiding in the back of a classroom) is a huge bonus.
