More than 850,000 Minnesota students return to their classrooms on Tuesday after summer break, and thousands of them will do so without ever leaving their homes. It’s possible thanks to virtual learning, where classes are taught by teachers at the other end of a home computer. High school English teacher Kristen Rohloff is preparing for another school year. She’s doing so in the corner office of her home which also serves as her classroom. “The benefit is we can be teaching from anywhere in the state,” Rohloff said. The one-time public school teacher is now with Minnesota Virtual Academy. She is about to begin her fourth year teaching from the comforts of home. Since brick and mortar classrooms are not needed, MNVA’s students are enrolled from all parts of the state.
