How does online learning change the school day? - Raquel Fitzgerald, Gotham Schools
Angelica, my classmate at the NYCiSchool, already explained how she adjusted to learning online, but you might still be wondering what it’s like to attend a school like ours on a day-to-day basis. A day in the life of an online school involves more computer time and less teacher time.
The “commons” is the student lounge where we go to study, eat lunch or just relax. This room, filled with modern-style furniture and six plasma screen TVs, is where we first stop to catch our breath and exchange a few words with friends after traveling up five flights of stairs.
At 9:00 a.m. our principals come out of their cubicles to remind us that class is starting.
