- This PPT serves as an overview to Plato. It is geared to support the new Plato instructor.
- Elective courses offered through Plato are cool. Please take a look at the elective courses offered by Plato under “Plato Content.”I use plato for a lot of math. I teach Algebra Readiness as direct instruction. Kids who are above that math class are assigned work in Plato.Credit recovery (CR) is different from the above. Think of credit recovery as a “night class” where kids work on their coursework at home after regular school hours. Kids can earn credits above and beyond what we offer on a quarterly basis. There is specific criteria which teachers must follow for CR. Please contact me for specifics.
- It is a good idea to log-in to a Plato course as a student so you will have a better understanding of what students will see. Remember, you can assign an entire semester’s worth of work to a student (for 5.0 credits) or you can assign quarterly work (for 2.5 credits). I find that students are more likely to complete their online course work when it is chunked by quarters.
- A great feature of Plato is the ability for students to “exempt” from lessons. A student must take a pretest at the beginning of each course. If students show mastery of a particular topic in Plato, they can be exempted from that lesson in the course. Why have students learn information they have already mastered?Off-line activities are short activities (usually 2 pages) students print on paper and complete by hand. Off-line activities are required and are graded by the instructor. For those who teach at a Contracted Learning site, these offline activities can also be used as work samples.Credit recovery (CR) is a special circumstance. Contact me if you have a student who is taking a Plato course for CR. I will guide you through that quick process.
