Cyberbullying Intervention and Prevention Tips
4. Students can take more breaks when needed.
5. Students do not have to face outside distractions that are present in a school environment.
6. Students can learn with less fear/anxiety about others judging them. Students who may feel embarrassed asking for help may be more comfortable coming forward.
Cons of Online Learning
1. Depending on the age of the student, a parent needs to be home at all times (or other supervising adult). Some families cannot afford this.
2. Some students need to be shown exactly how to do something via demonstration which may be challenging through a screen in some cases (this can be particularly challenging for students with more severe learning needs who benefit from hand over hand support, direct modeling of a task, etc.).
3. Screen light (blue light can be damaging for our eyes) which is why it is important to have students complete tasks off-screen as well.
4. Some students need a lot of support which requires a person being physically present – this can be for behavioral, emotional, physical or academic reasons – some parents may not know how or may be overwhelmed about having to provide a constant stream of support to their child throughout the educational day, especially when there are multiple children in the home or the parent has to work.
5. Some students love the social interaction that comes with traditional schooling – it is important to find social outlets for online students (there are social alternatives to the traditional school environment such as sports, art, music, etc.).
6. As humans, most of us are used to in-person interaction. In the past, it has allowed us to form deep connections, build a sense of comradery, form a family-type feel, etc. Building a strong sense of community can add to a students’ desire to learn and grow as a person. It is difficult to know how an online learning community would promote these types of connections, opportunities, and desires.
