Thanks for this. I too phone up...Kia ora Virginia!<br /><br />Thanks for this. I too phone up students on a regular basis with my learning cohort, but also frequently phone those who, as you say, appear to be floundering. This is teacher support which is part of good pedagogy.<br /><br />It's the support that the learner receives from others who are actually with them on the spot: the parent, the husband, the sister, the boy-friend. I have found that this support (help) is almost as important as the support that I can offer as teacher. But it is not an easy task encouraging this where little support exists.<br /><br />Getting those different support areas working in sync can have some amazing outcomes for learners.<br /><br />Catchya laterBlogger In Middle-earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08722634477041121797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107060758629396184.post-55638140309499760122009-09-28T06:31:36.102-07:002009-09-28T06:31:36.102-07:00I have called or emailed students that I think are...I have called or emailed students that I think are floundering. I have "online" office hours when I might also chat with students, the same way that I do with my traditional students.<br /><br />I think it helps, also, that I have been an elearner so I have a better understanding of what the student is going through.<br /><br />One thing I do with elearners that I am not as strict on with traditional learners is if they need an extension on an assignment, I have them set the date and then STICK TO IT. This allows the student to work within their own context, but also requires them to make school work a priority.V Yonkershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11910904367068063554noreply@blogger.com
