THE HOME SCHOOL:  Online Learning for Emotional Healing

 An Assessment Unit lives on this page; below you will find its introduction, modules, and web 2.0 tools.  It is a unit of instruction where my fictitious 8th grade teacher at The Home School, Ms. Virginia, explores student engagement with a twist: While learning in her online professional development (PD) classes at UW-Stout about engaging her classroom's interest and attention, she practices what she's learned online with her students in a blended classroom at The Home School, and she is being assessed in both classes. 

 

Together, she and her classmates and her students are working out the mechanics of creating a school environment where the students and the teacher are engaged and interested and having fun while learning!  Ms. Virginia suspects that classroom engagement happens when learning is FUN for students and teachers and has decided to experiment and see what her students think about it.  She suspects that if her students have deep fun while learning, they will be engaged with their learning.  Now she is also learning about assessment by assessing and being assessed by her professor, her peers, her students, and, most especially, herself, as she practices engagement with her students and they practice it with her.  Mean-while, she is also engaged with her online PD classes.  This Unit is her final project for Assessment in E-learning at Stout.
