Week 4 DQ #1

My dream is to create a blended learning charter school. Where the students can self-directed courses in a causal learning space managed by a facilitator and tutors. They spend there day engaged in online courses that are aligned with hands on activities done in learning space. If there is a need or desire for a student to take a course in a traditional setting then they can do that as well.

This allows them to have better flexibility in their schedule to participate in elective and enrichment activities. They find fulfillment by learning a sport, playing and instrument, and being creative in an artistic manner.

The learning day replaces the school day. The student participates in a 7am-7pm learning experience. That does not mean sitting in classes for 12 hours, but rather does their course work, homework, and enrichment activities in that time period and enjoys the time afterward with their family.
