Ava is sheltering-in-place in Vermont where she’s attending seventh grade. This is the first in a series of episodes discussing the sudden worldwide emergence of schooling-at-home. In this episode, Ava explains her daily study habits, the benefits of having control of her time when doing assignments, the effect of losing face-to-face connections and how she and her peer are compensating for that loss, the differing approaches of teachers for different classes, what she would like to see continue from this massive social experiment when sheltering is over, the effect on her family life of studying at home, innovative approaches to learning in classes one might not associate with distributed learning models, Ava’s favorite classes and how those choices have changed since starting e-learning, the impact on social networks, her vision of the future of learning and Ava’s frank advice for professional educators everywhere.
