Distance Learning in the Classroom

May 20, 2013

In 2013-14 schools will have an opportunity to have three different Artists in Schools Residencies in a semester and they will be participating with other schools in a unique project to support arts education. The beauty of these special art classes is that we construct the experiences as distance-learning (DL) classes that actually earn enough in DL incentive dollars to pay for the residencies. Each school will get one on-site residency per semester and will also get two virtual residencies from two other participating schools that will have different artists on site.

Challenger Learning Centers provide students, teachers, and adult learners with simulations that emphasize teamwork, problem-solving, decision-making, and communication skills. Learning Centers were established by the Challenger Center for Space Science in memory of the space shuttle Challenger crew. Check out the centers’ other e-Missions and e-simulations at the Challenger Learning Center website. http://www.e-missions.net/MMAB/main.html
