WRITING COURSES
Self-Paced
​
**BY EARLY FEBRUARY, SELF-PACED COURSES WILL INCLUDE THE ABILITY FOR STUDENTS TO EARN BADGES AND CERTIFICATES, GAMIFYING THEIR LEARNING EXPERIENCE​
​
Each course contains several VIDEO-RECORDED lessons where I am teaching and demonstrating how to accomplish a writing task.
Students are encouraged to SHARE THEIR WORK WITH ME (with parent permission) via email for feedback.
By early February, each course will include the ability to earn badges as students progress through the lessons, along with a certificate upon course completion. I will announce this change here, and you can expect the course overviews to have a refreshed look. (Get ready to gamify your learning experience!)
