Orientation & Meet Online Students!
Connect & become familiar with your Environment - Aug 2020
Drop into one of our optional Orientation and Online networking sessions for learners in grades 6-12 (Guardians welcome to join)
Wisconsin Virtual School (WVS) invites you to join us for an Online Orientation to your environment and an opportunity to meet other online students from across the state. WVS students will connect using ZOOM from their computer or mobile device. This is the same tool that WVS teachers use to hold "Connect Time" hours each week to provide students real-time support and connect them with their peers in their online course. This session will:
- Provide you with an overview of how to use ZOOM and other online resources
- Provide you with the opportunity to meet others taking online courses and perhaps the same course as you from around the state
- Review online course expectations and provide students with tools to evaluate their readiness and the technology they are using
- Present useful tips and helpful hints (students we need your voice here)
Develop a Connection With Other Online Students to:
- Socialize with your new online classmates
- Ask others about their online learning experience, tips for being successful in this environment, and more
- Get tutoring help & support
- Practice world languages or other course skills in an ungraded environment
- Work collaboratively on class projects
- Hear from a guest speaker or expert in the field
