to a student? JY Te courses are very interactive and energized. When a student logs on, they see the content and read through the introduc- tion which gives them direction as to what to do next. Te stu- dents see videos and simula- tions, and actually do hands-on activities like projects with other students. We offer illumi- nate rooms which are live class- rooms that students go in to interact with their teacher and other students. Tese rooms allow students to talk and work on proj- ects with the other students taking the course. Tey can write a prob- lem on the board, and the teacher will mark it up in real time and that is then visible to everyone in the class. Te illuminate room simulates a traditional classroom in an online environment. Every Friday our full-time middle school students go in one of the illumi- nate rooms to have recess.


GD Tat is an interesting interactive process that really keeps the students involved.
