Session #23 Summary

For the February LTTO session we took a field trip to the Hoosier Academy in Muncie.  Kathy Brown, Marketing and Enrollment Director; Lynn Black, Head of Schools; and Melissa DeWitt, Academic Director gave us an overview of how the three campuses function.  There are two campuses that offer a hybrid structure.  These schools include two days of face-to-face instruction and three days of work at home, some of which is online instruction.  The third campus is a virtual school with no face-to-face component. Following the presentation, we visited several classrooms and observed the teachers and students.
We will pursue opportunities for our BSU students to learn more about how the Hoosier Academy works.  Here are some Fast Facts about the Hoosier Academies and Demographic Information about the Virtual School.


The next LTTO session will be on March 18th from 11:30-12:30 in TC 217.  Yasemin will be presenting educational uses of Jing for screencasting.
