Advice for Online Learning

Online learning is used at PALMS throughout the school year. Our goal is to foster and promote a respectful learning environment by establishing behavioral supports and a positive social culture that allows all students to achieve social, emotional, and academic success. Here is a general list of advice for online learners:

• Demonstrate online learning etiquette: communicate appropriately - be polite and use your manners
• Create a quiet and structured space for learning (e.g., desk or counter) 
• Engage with your online class and use tools (like headphones) to focus your attention 
• Demonstrate learning through completion of assignments
• Academic integrity - submit your own original work
• Seek help when needed (teachers, guidance, administration) 
• Use Google Calendar/Canvas to stay organized
• Reach out to your teachers if you are overwhelmed
• Collaborate with peers using respectful language and behaviors 
• Bookmark tabs such as: School Gmail, Canvas, PowerSchool
• Confirm work submission (Canvas Assignment, top right)
• Communication is important - don’t be afraid to email your teachers, counselor, administration
