This course is being taught as a blended course. Regular lessons will be taught in class approximately 75% of the time. Students will have access to an ipad or desktop computer to complete the online components (modules) approximately 25% of the lessons. Mr. Durk will be in class to guide you through the modules and you will also be able to work with peers on many of these activities.
