On Friday, the students had an opportunity to explore some of the Virtual Learning Environment, or our Virtual Classroom. Wondering what that is? It is a web-based platform created by a company called D2L, and implemented by the Ministry of Ontario in conjunction with individual Boards of Education, in our case, the Waterloo Region Board of Education. Each student can access a Virtual Learning Environment that I have created for us, anywhere they have access to the internet. Similar to the idea behind Google Drive and Google Classroom, there are many more tools available within the boundaries of the Virtual Learning Environment. Please ask you child to sign into our Virtual Learning Environment and show you a few of the items they discovered yesterday in class!   Which part of the Virtual Learning Environment did you find the most surprising or do you think will be the most helpful?

Dear Kaarina,

This is a great question... I think that anything we end up using online or "virtually" can become a virtual learning environment, if we are learning from it. That being said, how do we differentiate between different learning environments when discussing, assigning or working on various tasks? Google Classroom, the site operated by D2L, as stated above, other online learning experiences? What do we call them? Leave a Reply. |
