Feelings about School! and Ohio Virtual Academy

Ryan is doing Ohio Virtual Academy this year. They have a thing called class connects. It is on illuminate a meeting site. Kids get on and the teacher does instruction! The kids can raise there hands and answer questions.. Talk on the mic... The teacher is doing Literature.. a novel." The Sign of the Beaver" Ryan came to the table and banged the computer wanting to listen to the story and interact with the kids. See he can make noise and take breaks whenever he wants.. IT IS SO COOL. But he feels like an active part of the class answering on his board. He was asked to make a prediction based on the cover what the book is about. Will post that next.. So smart.. and intuitive!

Well I asked him. hey do you like being with the teacher and learning with the kids.. and this was his answer:

Spelled name of his past school... then said _xxxxxxx SCHOOL SEPERATES RYAN..LIKE MAKING DECISIONS

See in the classroom he can answer with the kids at his pace we can keep talking while the teacher is teaching.. it works.. it is brilliant.......... we really love the repeats.. because I can pause the teacher .... give Ryan time to think and respond.. and then not miss a lick............... Ryan feels like he is participating making decisions.. answering her provoking questions.. she is getting the kids to think.. and Ryan loves it He loves to make decisions!
