Learning from a distance - Bill Hafer, Beatrice Daily Sun
Students grab their rojo (red) crayons and line up at the door to their classroom at Southern Elementary School at Blue Springs. Crayons in hand, the second-graders make their way down the hall to the library for their weekly Spanish lesson. Today's lesson is on how to say it's hot or cold, as well as learning the words for animals and colors. During the next 20 minutes, the students respond in unison or individually go to the front of the class to answer their Spanish teacher Eryn Sunday's questions. Nothing out of the ordinary for a teacher leading a group of second-graders, except that Sunday is in Beatrice. She is teaching the class using desktop conferencing technology from the Educational Service Unit 5 building through a distance learning network. The students can see and hear her and she can see and hear them.
