Virtual Learning & Technology
Weekly Notes 3-16-15
This Week
I am at MACUL in Detroit on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
Two weeks until spring break.
Virtual Academy Items of Interest
Radio ads for VA and MichiganCourses.org will be cut this week. We’ll start getting play the week before spring break.
I met with Dallas on Thursday regarding the use of Social Media and Marketing. I learned quite a bit. I plan to have a framework of ads and strategies sometime this week.
I have chosen for our students not to participate in ACT Aspire testing seeing that we will no longer test for ACT. We will begin shifting gears to SAT this spring and use our time for that.
Virtual Academy To Do:
Sarah and Jennifer should have any changes to the enrollment process completed by Friday so that Sarah can present them to me at our weekly meeting on the 23rd.
I’m looking at Thursday, May 7 at 6:30 pm for our early enrollment event, please check your calendars.
