2 E2020 is used at Algonac High School for students to recover lost credits, but also for students to have additional options for elective courses during the school day. E2020 classes are semester-based: You must get 100% of your course done within the semester that the course is on your schedule! E2020 classes are self-paced: While your instructor will monitor your progress and give reminders of your course deadline, you are responsible for pacing yourself to get your class completed within the semester!

3 E2020 classes are completely virtual: All coursework is on-line Mrs. Brutyn will be available to support/facilitate if there is an issue with your course, but your grade will be based solely on how you do on your on-line coursework! E2020 classes receive a letter grade on your report card and transcript: The threshold for passing e2020 elective classes is set to 0% - you can receive anywhere from 0-100% on any assignment, just like in a regular class. The letter grade you earn at the end of the semester will be what goes on your report card and transcript. This letter grade will affect your GPA just like any other course.

4 Time Management: It is critical for success in any class to use your time wisely and to prioritize tasks so that you get things done on time. Time management is especially critical in on-line, self-paced classes like e2020 because there is not a teacher telling you on a daily basis what needs to be completed.

5 Digital Footprint: It is also critical for those who take on-line classes to understand the importance of your digital footprint. Every time you log into a computer, take a picture on your phone, post something on social media, order something on-line, etc - you are leaving a lasting record that can be traced, shared, copied, and is PERMANENT! Digital Ethics: It is also important to understand digital ethics. Every interaction you have on-line (web-sites you go to, pictures, texts, or posts that you make) will follow you throughout your life.
