The eLearning Service provides many instructional opportunities around distance learing, videoconferencing, and on-line courses.
Courses such as American Sign Language, electives, college courses and many other classes that students may not have access to in their schools.
Enrichment opportunities, sometimes known as virtual field trips, offer connections for students and educators with experts on topics that are being taught in the classroom. Examples of these would be connections with NASA, Ellis Island, many zoos, museums, aquariums, and many more places!
Professional development and meetings are now supported by the use of videoconferencing, saving on time and travel from your district or building.
