With the rise of Covid-19 in 2020, my school and so many other schools around the world jumped into virtual teaching/learning. “Online enrollments have continued to grow at rates far in excess of the total higher education student population, albeit at slower rates than for the previous years.” (Allen, 2007) Although the quote talks about the enrollment going up in higher education, I have seen schools that were originally only teaching in person and then virtual have started to take on a hybrid model for virtual learning. Due to Covid-19, schools saw that some part of virtual learning can still be implemented in the classroom. Virtual learning has always been around but in these last few months, it has been more and more prevalent due to Covid-19. Many of the things that we did virtually will continue to stay as we continue to teach in a hybrid model, but with schools going back into in-person learning, we as a school system must remember what we can do virtually to continue to help students gain progress in their education. Many educators have figured out ways to teach in the middle of a pandemic virtually, but they have also utilized online learning programs to help supplement what they are doing in their class virtually. I first and foremost have done everything possible to help my students gain more and more math skills, being a math teacher myself, I conducted my research on how online learning programs such as Reflex and Freckle can continue to help students get better in their fluency and math skills. This research project focuses on how online learning programs help several of my students become more confident in their math skills with continued practice on their online learning programs. I have taken data from several of the different cohorts and analyzed this information to show growth when they are utilizing their online learning programs. While learning virtually we utilized zoom meetings to help communicate and teach our lesson for our virtual classroom. Students also used online programs such as clever to log into any online learning programs that they were using to obtain their weekly goals.
