The old way of thinking was that students represented a homogenous entity. Schools lined students up in rows, all facing the same direction, and the teacher lectured from the front – casting their academic lessons out to the crowd. One-size-fits-all education.
But that’s not the most efficient kind of informational transaction. When you go to the doctor’s office, for instance, you don’t want to sit alongside 20 other patients as the doctor delivers catch-all advice for everyone’s ailments and medical situations. You want direct, personalized care and attention. That’s how you flourish; that’s how you better yourself.

Therefore, forward-thinking teachers and institutions have evolved past the traditional classroom model to cater to individual students. As we’ll explore over the course of this article, the teachers at OES’s online high school achieve this personalized support in myriad ways, from flexible models to tech-enabled communication, student engagement to robust feedback.

It’s no longer feasible or practical to deny the widening presence of AI. Artificial intelligence is everywhere. It writes online articles (not this one, of course), underwrites mortgages, predicts the outcomes of baseball games, breathes life into customer service bots, deciphers long-lost texts from charred Pompeii scrolls… the list goes on.
Oh, and it’s also becoming increasingly prevalent in the classroom – to the concern and contentment of educators everywhere. Used effectively, AI can be a powerful tool in the classroom, capable of streamlining research and aiding in brainstorming. However, when used incorrectly or negligently, it commits one of the cardinal sins of academic integrity: plagiarism.

In this guide, your leading online high school in Ontario enters the debate. Below, we take stock of one of the latest education trends to supply students with a roadmap for responsible AI use. Here’s what to do – and what not to do – to prevent plagiarism and make the most of this cutting-edge tool.

How does a student reconcile the need for summer courses with all the excitement flying around them? How do they buckle down with their readings and tests when the sun is shining, friends are texting, family is planning a trip abroad, etc.? It can feel like an impossible weight to balance.
For many students, “summer” and “school” are like oil and water – they don’t mix easily. But maybe, you just need to shake things up.

Nursing is a field of study primarily built around helping people, often during challenging times, ensuring that patients feel comfortable, respected, informed, accommodated and healthy. Meanwhile, engineers help people by improving various systemic processes that we live with every day, whether it’s enhancing infrastructural quality, creating more efficient manufacturing processes for a greener planet, or developing technologies to aid people in need.

Education is constantly evolving. It might surprise some students to consider that we, too, are learners – as much as we’re educators. We take stock of the world around us to determine new approaches to problems; we fiddle with new instruments, study up on emerging models, etc.

Why does education change? For various reasons. Sometimes, educational practices morph because of undeniable advancements in technology. Other times, shifting student expectations bring about seismic changes to education. And occasionally, new paradigms in pedagogy – new waves, theorems, methodologies and mindsets – find their way into the real-life classroom.
