Bloomington High School South has begun to incorporate online courses into its curriculum. Now students are able to retake classes they failed – or begin working on college courses – all online. But some say a computer screen can’t completely replace a classroom. Student journalist, Alexis Davis, reported on the story.
Each Monday during June and July, the Daily Local News has brought reports produced through a partnership between WFHB and Indiana University’s J460 Community Journalism class taught by Professor Mike Conway. During the spring semester, students volunteered at WFHB and produced final projects about a variety of under-reported subjects, from wealth inequality to racial justice. This story is the last in the series. Thank you to all who participated in the partnership.
ACTIVATE!
From the Activate! archives: Hoosier 2 Hoosier (H2H) is a reuse program that diverts reusable items from the landfill during student move-out and raises money for local charities and other organization. H2H, a partnership between City of Bloomington Sustainability, Indiana University Office of Sustainability, and Cutters Soccer Club; is scheduled for Saturday, August 20 and volunteers are needed now and on the day of the sale. In this week’s Activate volunteer spotlight, Jacqui Bauer, Sustainability Coordinator for the City of Bloomington, discusses the sale’s mission and shares perspectives on the community of volunteers that make H2H possible. That’s this week on Activate! – our weekly segment spotlighting people working for positive change in our community.
