How to Use Plato for Online High School Courses

PLATO is a programmed logic for automated teaching operations. Many high schools use PLATO incorporated with their curriculum to enhance the assignment options for students. Some high schools throughout the United States have switched to laptops instead of textbooks. These schools can easily incorporate PLATO into the curriculum, as each student has access to a computer to complete the assignments.  

PLATO offers online assignments in math, language arts, science, social studies, foreign languages and recently added AP courses. Educators can set up PLATO assignments for their students to complete for credit. Education has changed in the recent years that educators implement new techniques to reach the every student. Students learn at different speeds so the PLATO allows them to complete the assignments at the own level.

• Set up an account for each student
  that is using the PLATO learning site.


• Watch the tutorial for educators
  using the PLATO system.


• Set the level of your PLATO
  mastery in the set up menu section to meet the classes needs. PLATO
  has each state required education level for each individual school
  district.


• Give each student a user name and a password to access the system.


• Have all students complete the
  introduction to PLATO online. This will allow each student to
  complete the introduction at their own speed.


• Create the assignments on the
  PLATO system and advise the students of the assignment. A report is
  sent to the teachers with information about the student completion
  of the assignment and the score given each student.
