Text From Article Review

Digital Learning during summer school has taken place in Detroit. The summer school is program is free to the students and they can gain the knowledge from a computer anywhere at their disposal. The school is considered a new type of camp for students during the summer. The “Camp” is to help struggling students strive to be closer to their skill sets, or even go beyond. The camp does not only help with the students skills but also helps them learn about different forms of technology. Gaming is becoming big with these programs. The author of the article opinion is centered towards agreement. Nora Fleming lays out the article in a positive manner. She supports the virtual schools with new research and studies. Fleming also has numerous opinions of others in her article to give the reader a different perspective on the subject. Personally I find this article refreshing. It is amazing how much technology is taken over the schools. When I was in school the year I graduated online classes were offered and I took one. Now three and a half years later the classroom is on the computer. I like the idea of online summer camp because it will keep enhancing the students’ knowledge so they do not fall too far behind in the summer. It will also help bring students up to par in their skills. When used correctly technology can be a very effective tool for teachers to use in the classroom and out.

My Thoughts:

I liked looking up different journals about technology this semester. I found a lot information that I did not know was out there for schools and classrooms. Reflecting back on what I have learned this journal was very interesting to me that schools are actually going year around and have summer camps for students.
