Learning online in the classroom

By Kate Padilla, Daily Reporter


A rising trend in utilizing technology in the classroom allows students to learn at a pace and in an environment more conducive to their individual needs. Digital textbooks and supplementary materials require students to login online to view textbooks and resources. For Donna McClain, math teacher at Spencer Middle School and Spencer High School, the online program Cognitive Tutor helps students learn at their own pace and with instant feedback on where they may need correction. “It’s set up in conjunction with our textbooks,” McClain said. “Teachers select different units that correspond with the unit they’re teaching. The students get extra practice doing problems rather than filling out a sheet of problems in a traditional homework situation.”
