Cyber School

I thought some of you may be interested in learning about what we do in Cyber School. Justin and I each have our own cubicle, as does our friend and the other newbie, Christine. We work Monday to Friday, from 9 'til 5. There are six classes scheduled throughout the day. We can have anywhere between one to five students per class. We use a special computer program to teach our students. This program allows us to talk, chat, do worksheets, read articles and stories, and use a whiteboard. It works out pretty well. Each of us English teachers have different classes. My schedule works like this:

9:00-10:30 - Preparation Time
10:30-11:10 - Period 1 (Elementary Phonics), one student
11:20-12:00 - Period 2 (Elementary Phonics), one student
1:30-2:20 - Period 3 (Adults), no students...
2:30-3:10 - Period 4 (Preparation Time)
3:20-4:00 - Period 5 (Middle Intermediate), three students
4:10-4:50 - Period 6 (Elementary Intermediate), four students
5:00 - Freedom!

This schedule will change the beginning of next month, since students will be returning to school after summer vacation. But it works for now. I think that Justin and I will be teaching Cyber School until the middle of October, and then will head down to English Camp.

And here is a picture of me teaching my Middle Intermediate class at Cyber School...
