LEARN is very proud to announce that online math teachers Peggy Drolet (left) and Audrey McLaren McGoldrick were honoured by iNACOL, the International Association for K-12 Online Learning, at their annual Virtual School Symposium held this year in New Orleans. The teachers were recognized for their use of social media, flipped classroom model and sharing through blogs, conferences and twitter.
We love to hear about former students doing well in their post-secondary studies. Here is an update on a student from the LEARN class of 2012:
Hi Audrey,
Just thought you may like to have an update on Donald – he is sitting at 99% in his CEGEP math class!!!! He must have had a good math teacher last year 🙂
