All around her, noisy, messy chaos erupts as the rest of the Ormiston students busy themselves with their learning. It's called a modern learning environment or MLE. And in Jasmine's case it is a game changer.

Photos, sound files and video clips are always great ways to liven up great presentations. A few quick examples: Photos.
