It is time to start thinking about the 2017-18 School Year. Hard to believe, right? IU08 is gearing up! Last spring we began to imagine bringing World Languages to students in a virtual environment. The World of Learning brought together a great team of teachers and virtual specialist to showcase the promise and benefits of a virtual World Language program.  With dynamic courses built in the Canvas environment - we bring the ACTFL Can Do statements to life in our virtual classrooms. We are dedicated to offering a course framework that will provide engaging asynchronous content which supplements the lively synchronous (live) lessons that stretch students to become independent, goal-oriented learners. By working in a research based model we will ask students, in our 6E model, to: Engage in creating their own learning goals,  Explore activities that help them to meet their targeted learning,  Examine through a self-check phase where the learning facilitators engage students
