What is it like to go to school online? Think that it’s only for certain kinds of people? Think it’s easier than going to a traditional school? Think again.“What we are doing here is really a modern take on the traditional one-room school house. Since I am the only English teacher at our school, it makes sense that I when I have my students come in for group workshops or a book clubs that they all meet together — regardless of their grade level or course work,” Gilbert said. “Having a mixed-age group raises the quality of group learning; older students lend their maturity and experience to class discussions, and this inspires our younger students to bring their best thinking to class. The result is a more authentic academic conversation than what one might get in a traditional school setting.”
