Using the Internet for Virtual School: Rules and Tips for a Successful Online Learning Experience (Emotional Education for Elementary Schoolers)
by Dagmar GeislerFrom award-winning author Dagmar Geisler, in collaboration with illustrator Nikolai Renger, a new series for elementary school students about social-emotional learning and physical and mental health. In recent years, children of all ages—just like many adults!—from all over the world have had to shift the way they learn and work. They&’ve adapted to sitting in front of their computers or tablets instead of in a physical class with their peers. Some have thrived in this environment, while others struggle to prepare themselves for the virtual learning experience. In Using the Internet for Virtual School, best friends Madison and Luke quickly learn all about what can go wrong if they&’re not prepared for their virtual lessons when Luke&’s older brother, Tim, experiences a stressful online presentation. The laptop dies, his video files won&’t load, and possibly worst of all, he didn&’t realize an embarrassing (babyish!) poster was hanging on the wall behind him the whole time! This sours Tim&’s mood for the foreseeable future, and Madison and Luke decide to make a list of the Do&’s and Don&’ts of virtual school and presentations so they don&’t replicate Tim&’s disaster of a day when it comes time for them to join their class online. In this timely book, award-winning author Dagmar Geisler presents tips and tricks—as well as some golden rules—to help primary school students prepare for their digital lessons and presentations. This is a strong conversation-starter for adults and children and is also a practical guide.
