Success Story from Mineral Wells ISD

Two online German 2 students, participating in a Vision 2020 Grant at Mineral Wells ISD attended their first webinar class with their instructor. The students were able to speak to, interact with, and hear German from their instructor which is a very important component to this class. They were actually participating in different exercises and unit activities with the teacher who resides in Utah.

The class previously did not have this component, but after a conference call with the Utah instructor, Mineral Wells faculty, and the students, the instructor realized that the students background is not as strong as it could be. Once a week they will have a webinar class with the Utah German instructor to enhance the learning process.
