Eagle Academy Weekly Update
Week of February 14, 2021
The Upside of Virtual Online School
Almost everyone agrees; all-virtual classes aren't as good. Teachers cannot do what they can in person. I'm thinking science labs and culinary projects here. In addition student feedback is tougher to get. Online tools are amazing, but they don’t compare to being there in person. Studies have found that it puts a lot of stress on students, their families and teachers. To cap it all off, we are at the mercy of Comcast, Wi-Fi & our devices.
There is an upside though. Kids get a little more sleep, they have developed new online skills, we can feature guest speakers more easily, and most times they can get their class work done any time of the day. Another benefit became apparent this week. Inclement weather does not force schools to close. As I write this we are in the middle of our 3rd all virtual day this week. Teachers are still teaching, students are still learning.
Be Safe, Be Healthy
