Hurricane Sandy may have given most students in the area a couple of days off from school, but the students at Bishop Guertin High School only truly missed one day.
There was no school on Tuesday, and a âMoodle dayâ on Monday.
Moodle is an educational website used by Bishop Guertin to assign homework to students online. Teachers can post readings, assignments, notes and deadlines; start discussions based on class; and even assign online tests. Students use it as a study resource, as well as for receiving homework assignments.
On Monday, however, students were assigned a school day on Moodle, for which they had an assignment for each of the six classes they would have had in school that day. Each assignment, in theory, covered the amount of work done in one class period.
The work done from home counted as one school day, and BG wonât have to make it up in June.
While many students enjoy this tradeoff, one fewer day in June is a faraway prize for the workload students dealt with on Monday.![]()
