This use of advanced technology is one way the ATA College Prep program is ensuring that is it meeting its promise of a high-quality education.

"I’m very excited about bringing our traveling kids into class using Skype,” ATA College Prep Director Carol Hagar said. “Aaron was able to listen in on some valuable discussion that ordinarily a student on the road would not receive."

In addition to Aaron joining class via Skype, Coach Estevam joined the discussion and had this to say:  "I thought the discussion was great because it really helped me to fill in the gaps on my understanding of the story.  I am really learning to appreciate the discussion because I get to hear other people's perspectives."  

So whether ATA College Prep is bringing technology into the classroom, or technology is bringing ATA College Prep students into the classroom, online tools like Skype allow students necessary flexibility while not missing out on valuable classroom time.
