O.B. Montessori Center (OBMC) has adapted an online school management system to bring the Montessori experience into the digital world. Through the OBMC Digital Platform students receive
announcements, answer learning tools, and view grades. Alongside this, teachers conduct classes online, assess student’s performance using an electronic grading system, and manage submissions.
The following are key terms that will aid in using the school’s learning system:
• E-learning Platform: refers to the software applications used by OBMC to transmit the lessons.
• Online Learning: refers to how students learn and interact in a virtual classroom where the Montessori experience facilitates the development of each child’s “inner teacher.”
• Face-to-face Instruction: refers to face-to-face (live streaming) interactions through video conferencing, utilizing in-house Montessori videos for lessons and activities; OBMC digital-printable worksheets, seatwork, and drills; sharing of journals or video links done according to the guidelines of fair use and proper attribution.
• Offline Activities: refer to home-based activities (e.g., homework, drills, projects, and others) assigned by the teacher to help the student master the lessons and hone his or her skills. Schedule of offline work will depend on the preferred time of the student and/or parent.
