I like to learn online because I don't "zone out" while the teacher is talking.

It’s assessable all the time, when you’re absent you know what to catch up on and you don’t have to wait for the
teacher to give you anything you missed. -Monica (periods 7&8)
Student Testimonial:
I could use my phone to use moodle to study -Nick (periods 2&3)

Student Testimonial:
It’s better than sitting in a class and taking 800 notes, and listening to a teacher go on and on about science. Also you
get to play fun games, helping you remember interesting facts about biology.

Student Testimonial:
Learning online helps you to be organized. You can have a huge messy binder in every other class, but you can’t have a
