Distance Learning can mean a lot of things, and can benefit students and teachers in many ways. Here are just a few:
Extending the classroom
Through video conference solutions LPS is able to offer a few of our courses to students in other districts across the state.
Conversely, students in LPS high schools can remotely attend courses offered in other districts (or other LPS high schools)
Enrichment activities
With video conferencing equipment, teachers can bring experts into the classroom to enrich the learning experience for students through virtual field trips to zoos, museums, or other non-profits.
Librarians and teachers are able to set up classes to meet with authors of books they read and study.
Professional learning
LPS staff can sometimes avoid driving to remote locations to attend statewide committee meetings, conferences, and other obligations.
The Curriculum department is home to the LPS Digital Learning Coordinator.
