If anything has become clear in recent weeks, it has been this: "Remote learning relies on students to being self-directed learners... We need to start planting the seeds early for a more self-directed learning vs. showing up for class and waiting-to-see-what-a- teacher-has-planned for us today!" This includes developing skills to create "documentation directed to aid self-awareness, fuel motivation to learn, and support decision-making concerning what wants or needs to be learned or can be learned next." Additionally, there's curation, "a vital skill that directly connects with self-directed learning, but it also develops and strengthens the now skills and literacies in the process." Tolisano also includes things like choice and voice, web literacy, and personal learning networks.
