After a successful Spring with **//OdysseyWare2//**, our students had the opportunity to attend Summer School in a unique e-Learning style. Just four days a week for the month of June. Dozens of students attended from 9am to 3pm. They were able to catch-up or get ahead. Each student with different goals for attending OW2 Summer School.

Lucas Martin and Glorianna Under Baggage were committed to giving the Little Wound students the best e-Learning platform coupled with a rigorous program in the Common Core Subjects aligned to the South Dakota State Standards.

Using desktops and laptops students were able to work in different landscape settings from the library, the amphitheater or a cool classroom. It was an opportunity for students to also access Social Media for Education, YouTube for Educators and experimenting with Science with 3D simulations for Biology.


 * Today at Little Wound with e-Learning**


 * //Fall 2012//** began with a surge of students ready to have one, two or more courses with OW2. Currently there are 150+ students enrolled in at least one e-Learning course, in the first three weeks having students completing course work and earning credits before the first quarter of school is completed. Students are finding the e-Learning format easy to adapt to, and yet the course materials are rigorous, meeting all SD State Standards.

Skills that are improving for students:
 * Improved keyboarding skills
 * Research skills
 * Applying Social Media in a learning environment
 * Developing new study habits based on Course Notes, Quizzes and Practice Tests.
 * Improved Time-Management during the period in the e-Learning classroom
 * Becoming skilled as a more mature student
 * Acquiring Critical Thinker skills
 * Incorporating Collaborative strategies with other students
 * Expressing Creativity
 * Discovering other forms of Communication
 * Improving Writing skills for the 21st Century student

Students are understanding and relating their earlier education experiences with e-Learning, and in some cases can identify ways to fill any gaps they have through focused study using the OW2 curriculum.

There is excitement at Little Wound School--and we are happy to see our students being at the center of this new approach to educating our 21st Century youth.
