Oh man, I REALLY miss the angel system. :/ 2008-09 was my freshman year and now I'm a senior, and they just switched to a new system and IT SUCKS. :/

@kSandCj haha I am in the same grade as you. I thought the same thing a month ago. Now, i am used to k12, just as I eventually got used to angel. Its all about the it sucks learning curve lol. Are you more used to it now?

[kSandCj]

@macluke170 I'm used to it, I guess. I still don't like it very much. One thing that's good about the k12 switch is the laptops are SO much better!

@kSandCj I'm still with my original laptop. That thing refused to break down.

I really want to go to NYU. I'm thinking about what school I want to attend online because, public school is just not for me. I've never liked the enviroment, I'm social don't get me wrong, but I always feel like I'm wasting my time in there when I could be learning more than bare necessities. So far, I'm considering Provost, Insight, and K12. Help?

[macluke170]

@AllYoursTonight I have never attended Provost or K12. All I can really tell you is what I know, and that is Insight. I love Insight and I fell that is has a lot to offer. One thing I would focus on in your search is how much teacher involvement you can get. All Insight teachers have Elluminate sessions and office hours. Office hours allow you to ask questions and get one on one help with your teacher. I would look for something comparable. Teacher support availability is important.

@macluke170 Are you kidding me? I must just have horrible luck with laptops. Honestly, I've probably gone through 15 computers since I started...:o

[macluke170]

@11terrah It's a regular computer. If you have wi-fi it already has a wi-fi card in it. If you don't have wi-fi use ethernet to the modem or buy a wi-fi base station. If you don't know if you have wi-fi, ask your parents.

so do have to plug the computer in to somthing another computer to get internet or douse it come with internet

[macluke170]

@11terrah you should call the Insight offices for your state or tech support to get the password and username. I think they would give it to you if you asked. My user and pass came with the computer i think, but calling and asking can't hurt and they will probably give it to you. once you have the username and password any computer can be used.
