        What Will My Virtual Learning Environment Be Called?<\/strong><\/p>\n

        There are many different virtual learning environments which\u00a0<\/span>your class might use.<\/span> Popular options include: Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, Apple Classroom and Apple Schoolwork.

        How Does an Online Classroom Work With My Real Classroom?<\/strong><\/p>\n

        A virtual learning environment can never replace the physical classroom, nor does it simply recreate it online \u2013 the face to face, social interactions in a classroom are vital. A virtual learning environment allows\u00a0<\/span>you<\/span>\u00a0to do<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>things y<\/span>ou<\/span>\u00a0would do in a classroom when\u00a0<\/span>you<\/span>\u00a0are away from the classroom. However, they are not only beneficial for homework and\u00a0<\/span>when you<\/span>\u00a0can\u2019t attend school.\u00a0 They also allow some classroom tasks to be done more efficiently \u2013 like circulating a handout. In this way, a virtual learning environment may be used even when\u00a0<\/span>you<\/span> are sitting in the physical classroom in school.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
