...and what a shame the school technology department cannot figure a way to allow access to the YouTube tutorials that would make learning how to use the Chrome Books magic...or learning how to access databases, or make citations, or any number of drill-and-kill skills that all the students will use when they are ready. Taking the lesson once, to everyone at the same time, ensures I'll be reteaching it again and again as students need the information.
A self-pacing, independent study course allows students to move at their own pace with their personal abilities. Being able to access information when it is needed enhances and anchors the knowledge in the learning process. This is a best practice pedagogy, researched with empirical studies.
Online tutorials can unleash self-directed learning.
