An e-learning classroom offers several benefits for students including promoting independent learning, developing higher-order thinking skills, and providing global learning opportunities through increased access. Students have choice in what tools and materials they use to complete activities. E-learning curriculum and assessments look similar to a traditional classroom, but students have access to more digital tools like Google Docs, Mathletics, and iPads to demonstrate their learning. The classroom is equipped with devices like iPads, laptops, cameras and interactive whiteboards to facilitate digital learning.

So when you bring all of this
together, the tools, the mind

have effective learning.
These are not separate
elements but intrinsically
linked together. The
emphasis is not on the
technology, but what the
technology allows you to
