Today in Digital Academy we had our first group project. Students came together to make an apron. They brought in a dishtowel of their choice while I provided ribbon, thread, needles and buttons. The room was full of laughter and excitement as they measured around their bodies to get the right amount of ribbon, and began sewing the ribbon on. They were laughing as they made mistakes and trying to thread their needles. The students standing around the table looking for buttons to match their ...

Digital Academy students are welcome to come in for small group or one to one tutoring. It is actually encouraged. Students can come in up to 2 days a week for 2 hours each time. Not all students need both days or the full two hours, so times are flexible and can be scheduled as needed. Mr. Roberts is our Special Education instructor and he works with his students a minimum of 2 days a week for an hour each session. It is a privilege for Mr. Roberts and I to work with your students. Than...

Digital Academy only posts grades at Semesters due to the system we use (Plato) for graded 4-8. Classes are set up on Semesters, therefore students have a full Semester to complete all assignments. Digital Academy does not post interim grades or 9 weeks grades. If you are concerned about your child's progress you can log into your child's Plato program and their current grade is visible there or feel free to contact me anytime. Grades K-3(4), we do not use Plato, so we will post grades per...

Hello, my name is Tina Shonborn and I work for the Logan Hocking School District. I am the Elementary Digital Academy teacher. Our district, along with myself, believe strongly in the education of the children in Hocking County. Therefore, we have developed a program for students who have not wanted to participate in the “traditional” classroom setting. Our district would like to invite you to an informational meeting that will describe our program in detail to you. We will discuss with you the requirements of the program such as hours/assignments needed to complete the program successfully as well as the program we use to accomplish the goals we expect the students to achieve.

We are about to embark on a new school year. If you have a student in the Logan School District that is interested in Online schooling, please give us a call at 740-385-8517. Ask for Trina Barrell or email tshonborn@lhsd.k12.oh.us. Logan offers their own Online Digital Academy program. Give us a call for more details.

Today the EDA celebrated the end of the year with a slideshow of the year's events, dollar tree awards and some minute to win it games. Students and parents alike had a good time participating. It is a sad time of year letting my students go, but I am so proud of them. Good luck to those of you moving on the the High School and to the buildings next year! You'll do great! The rest of you, I will see you in the fall. Thank you to Logan Dairy Queen for donating certificates for AR prizes. A...

It is near the end of the year and that means field trips! Today the Elementary/Middle Digital Academy students in grades 2 through 7 visited our very own Hocking County Historical Society. I heard so many "wows", "this is cool", "how neat is that". It warmed my heart to see them excited about the history of their own little town, Logan, Ohio. It wasn't just the students who were impressed, the parents were just as astonished. I even had one parent who said she would like to become a volunt...

Today was a beautiful day for a trip to Bishop Gardens. The students learned about different sounds of birds, types of plants, and they even got to look for some critters. The most common critter found was the lizard. After our nature hike we did a little archery as well. It was a great time. A wonderful learning experience for the students and adults alike. I'd like to thank Rebecca Miller for her support of the Logan Hocking School District and her dedication to nature. Digital Ac...
