Navajo communities without Internet a week after it was shuttered

By Felicia Fonseca
Associate Press Writer

All of seventh-grader Nikkolas Page’s school assignments are done on the Internet.

He logs on to a computer each day at 1 p.m. at the Inscription House Chapter on the northwestern side of the Navajo Nation in Arizona, downloads his assignments, and when he’s done, submits the answers online.

Twice a week, he’s required to attend live sessions with other students and teachers.

The 12-year-old was in Flagstaff recently doing standardized tests required of all Arizona public school students, but he might find his online schooling is not as easy to.
