As we begin the second half of our 2013-2014 academic year,
it’s important to remember why we are here in the first place: to learn. How do you get the most out of your learning
experience at Metro East Web Academy?
Here are a couple tips for you to consider to help finish out the year
strong.
- Visit our “Tips for Successful Online Learning” Web Page. This page has a number of different tips on how to be successful as an online student. Read them and see if there is anything you need to add to your approach as we begin the next term.
- Meet with your teachers at least once per week. Your teachers are here to help you succeed and they want to see you grow. Make sure to talk with them if you are stuck on an assignment or lesson. Often two heads are better than one and conversing with a teacher will help both of you understand each other better in the future.
- Keep notebooks, or computer folders, with notes for each class. Taking notes is always a good idea and keeping these notes organized will save you time when studying for a test. You can also use these notebooks for writing questions and answers as you go through your lessons. Some classes require the use of a spiral notebook, but they are a handy tool for any class.
- Turn in your homework assignments on time. The sooner you can get an assignment turned in, the quicker you can get feedback from the teacher on your work. Doing the assignments early will also allow you more time to ask questions for clarification, if needed.
- Stop in the Drop-In Labs each week. Coming in to the drop-in labs regularly will help organize your day, give you time to talk with teachers and counselors, and allow you to socialize with fellow classmates. Collaboration produces some of the best creative results on projects and stopping by the drop-in labs will help feed your creative process.
- Visit our online social communities to connect & engage with other students & your teachers. Our online social sites not only provide students and teachers with helpful tips and inspirations, but they are places for parents to collaborate as well. We want to keep our MEWA community strong, both in and outside of, the school. We hope all our students, teachers, and parents will contribute to our Facebook, Twitter, & Pinterest pages regularly to engage in meaningful conversations and stay up to date on what’s happening at MEWA.
