ANGEL Training Held at ESU #8

Last month, approximately 40 area teachers and staff attended ANGEL training at ESU #8. ANGEL is a web-based software that allows teachers to create and manage classes online. The name ANGEL is an acronym for “A New Global Environment for Learning.”

This was the third of four ANGEL training sessions that have been hosted by ESU #8. Doug Zauha, Executive Director, and Eric Smith, Systems Administrator, from myeLearning.org of Nebraska were the presenters.

ANGEL was created to meet the following needs for all educational institutions:

• Professional Development
• State Standards Alignment to Class Content
• Virtual Classes
• Parent-School Communication
• Manage, Develop and Enrich Traditional Instruction
