Remote learning gets creative
Sophia Lipria of Ortega persuaded her classmates to buy a chicken during Freshman seminar as students at the Episcopal School embraced remote learning at a time when the campus is closed to students and residents are engaged in social distancing. Lipria’s online pitch was a creative example of how Episcopal’s faculty is making virtual instruction engaging and interesting. “I had each student take five minutes to find something in their house and then work up a persuasive way to sell it to their class members,” said Valerie Bow, Freshman Seminar instructor. “It was so much fun. I had everything from pets, to iPhones, deodorant, a chicken, and a tractor! The students did well, and it broke the norm of what we would have been able to do in our classroom environment.”
