What the students have to say...

My first Headmaster told me the best way to find out about a teacher is to ask the students. I believe it is the best way to judge a pedagogical concept too. So I have selected some students from the Murry Bergtraum class of 96 who speak about their experience in a class that uses the Internet. This may be the best way to show you what we are doing before you spend time reading and exploring how we do it.

If you want to see the rest of the class or if you want to see this year's crop of juniors in CyberEnglish click on the appropriate link. We are also generating a ninth grade class. I have provided links to English classes, but we have other disciplines using the net: history, deaf and hard of hearing, and bilingual. You can find these links in the Internet Projects

All classes that use the Internet are treated as if they were on a field trip. With that in mind, permission slips are given to the students to take home and are returned signed by the parents before the students use the Internet.
