A local high school math teacher is learning right along with his students as e-learning continues through the end of the semester.  Cliff Wind, a math teacher from Sturgeon Bay High School, has been working with students for over 25 years and says he feels like a first-year instructor now as he embraces the new cyber-learning format. Wind has been utilizing teleconferencing to interact with students virtually and has set up mini-lectures that he records and sends to the kids. He adds that online learning tools are available as well to help students.

Students and teachers are making the best with e-learning, according to Wind, but it’s not the way education was meant to be taught. He notes that 75 percent of education is through social interaction, and the lack of true closure for the school year is disappointing.
