In the next week or two, all students in the MC2 High School Online program will be switched over from Odyssey/Compass Learning into the education2020 (e2020) program. Some really neat features about this program are curriuclum and courses aligned with MPS credit recovery classes, the ability to pre-test and earn credit for lessons without completing all the assignments, and functions like eNotes and eReader that offer additional support options for notetaking and testing.

For those of you already working on coursework in e2020, allow me to remind you of some really cool features that we hope to utilize in the future. For one, in your "Lobby" - or home screen - you can find access to all your courses, your progress in each class and most importantly the "Organizer" on the right side of your screen. From the Organizer, you can find email correspondance from your instructors, alerts about retakes, and clips from the orientation video that will automatically start the first time you log into e2020. The video is a little long, and a little boring. However, the information is really important for you to use the program to your greatest benefit. You can always go into the Resources link from the Organizer to help you answer any program-related questions.
