Students are in their 3rd week of Virtual Summer School (VSS) and loving it! Over the past 2 weeks when visiting the on-site tutoring sessions, students reported that they are spending at least double, if not triple, the amount of time on their daily lessons assigned by Mr. Shermak. One student reported that she is glad to be able to keep up on her reading skills over the summer and she is having fun interacting with the online programs. All students reported that they would recommend VSS to their friends and enjoy communicating and collaborating using Edmodo. Students are motivated by watching their skills improve via the math and literacy online resources. Some of the resources that students are using are TenMarks (math), MobyMax (reading and math), Big Universe and TweenTribune (literacy). Online resources such as TodaysMeet and Twiddla are also being used to collaborate and communicate on projects. During week 4 students will be collaborating online with Mr. Shermak via Google Hangouts. There is a lot to be excited about with Virtual Summer School!
