[quote=Anonymous]Small school district (about 130 total graduates per year) in PA.  Schools are using a platform called Schoology...each subject has a section.  It was already in use—all MS and HS assignments and materials were posted even when school was in session.  MS and HS kids also already had their own school laptops.

Schools in PA shut down as our spring break started and our district then took an extra week to get set up before we started.

No mandatory live sessions—teachers are posting videos (either they made themselves or Kahn academy or from the curriculum company).  Then the kids do the assignment and participate in discussion boards.

MS alternates Math/science one day and ELA/social studies next and one weekly lesson/assignment for each elective.

ES alternates math/ELA, but on the “off” day they have to work on ELA or math online in a program called IXL.  They also have one special each day and one science and one social studies lesson per week.

Schools are saying they will be able to give the kids all the core content by the end of the school year.  I think it’s going pretty well...kids work on school stuff 3-4 hours a day (which seems about right).[/quote]
