Abstract

This chapter is about setting the stage in upper elementary for i2Flex. The two perspectives will be presented as they are implemented in the fourth and fifth grades. The first part of the chapter will be a showcase of different instructional strategies used in both grade levels while implementing the i2Flex model. In the second part, the authors share specific examples of their practices supporting their students with the foundational skills needed to transition smoothly into the i2Flex model, while meeting curriculum demands and the needs of the 21st century learner. Students at ACS Athens are introduced to Moodle® from the 4th grade and continue to effectively use this platform in 5th grade. It is used as an integrated system in creating personalized learning environments which aim to foster student engagement, to familiarize students with technology, to build research and typing skills, to learn foundational computer skills, and lastly, these personalized learning environments serve as alternatives to traditional homework and preparation for lessons.
