HS DISTANCE LEARNING PROJECT
Objective: Students will work as individuals or collaboratively using google sheets, google docs, and google slides to complete a comprehensive report covering all subject areas taught at Woodland High School. This project is to extend learning beyond the classroom during the mandated distance learning during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.
Participation: Student participation in this project is optional. All students are welcome to participate.Those students that elect not to participate, will receive their subject grades as of 3/12/20. Students are encouraged to participate through the use of technology, examples: computers, laptops, chromebooks, tablets and smartphones. However, if a student does not have access to these resources or the internet required to use these devices, a paper version of the assignment will be available to them for pick up at the HS office.
Scoring: Students will be able to earn not more than 10% extra credit in each class they are currently enrolled in. A rubric will be made available to students so they know the expectations of the project. Students must complete all areas of the project in order to receive credit, as well as present to the faculty and principal via Zoom meeting.
Topic: Faculty will develop questions specific to their subject area around the topic of the current global events which have led to distance education in Oklahoma.
