Volusia teacher makes remote learning work for gifted 5th graders
Vicki Fritz’s head is just visible over the top of her computer monitor in the back of the room. The portable at Tomoka Elementary school classroom is … empty?
Upon closer inspection, an entire class of fifth graders is on Fritz’s computer screen 13 squares that show a glimpse of a student’s home. Their voices filter in through a speaker under the window, turned up to give the illusion that they’re right there with her.
Fritz is teaching fifth grade gifted students from around the district who would otherwise not be able to participate in the advanced program from home. It’s a regional Volusia Live class and she loves it.
