Students need to be aware of the many online (and physical) resources provided through the district and state, as well as free tools available to them online.

Linking resources from designated websites increases accessibility to and, hopefully, use of reliable, credible resources.

Online resources offer the flexibility of access by students with online access and devices outside the school building as well as the school day.

Assignment of username and password for each student for authorization of online subscriptions expedites utilization of those tools.

Research shows that students who read for pleasure are more fluent in informational reading as well. Readers also exhibit more creativity and higher levels of life satisfaction on general.

Familiarizing students with print and non-print materials available, as well as how to request and access those resources online, will promote leisure reading.

Systems to identify high-interest materials, including student input, will improve collection development practices as well.

Digital citizenship expectations should be embedded in daily practices. Teachers should model as well as reinforce safe, ethical, and responsible use of tools and resources continuously.

Curating resources for students provides a platform from which they can expand their horizons in technology use.

Encouraging students to take risks in creating projects to reflect their learning will increase variety and enhance both student and teacher satisfaction.

Starting with a few teachers to create projects which showcase students' potential in creativity and flexibility can lead to other teachers' interest in attempting new assessment options.

Looking for opportunities to share ideas with peers in other settings improves instruction across schools and districts. Openness to others' ideas, and willingness to look for opportunities to modify practices to improve learning, is very important.

Teachers in all disciplines should be exposed to resources which could improve their students' learning options. Targeted instruction and resource curation can improve likelihood that teachers will integrate new tools and resources in their plans.

Parents are integral to successful implementation of online learning options. Their understanding of concepts such as flipped classroom, blending learning, gasification, long-term digital projects, and the need for students to practice good digital citizenship is imperative.

Providing informational sessions for parents on innovative programs, as well as introductions to online resources and the importance of student learning during school breaks, may be helpful.

Students deeply appreciate opportunities for flexibility in showing what they learn. These comments are from the collaborative math project in Fall, 2013, and the photographs which follow are students creating digital products for a similar project in October, 2014.
