All four of my online students showed up for our kickoff — face to face meeting. The main reason we met in person, was to give the kiddos their laptops. That makes things very nice. I have set up — and need to publish, a movie on how to download and install Java, but it is much nicer that we gave it to the kiddos done.
Two of my students have completed their first assignment — email me. One sort of has, but is having issues installing his ISP. I haven’t heard from the fourth yet.
I’m really excited about this. Each student is from a different high school which means we’ll get good word of mouth.
I’m actually hoping to teach AP CS online next year.
