GCA Unmuted: Learning to Launch - Virtual Teaching in the Primary

Our first episode of GCA Unmuted explores how Georgia Cyber Academy helps its youngest learners (K-2) successfully begin their educational journey in a virtual environment. We hear from Dr. Felicia Lowman Sikes, who leads a gifted Kindergarten classroom, about what it takes to “launch” early learners online, where foundational skills like letters, numbers, routines, and friendships are just beginning to form. Through stories from her classroom, Dr. Sikes illustrates how intentional structure, consistency, and relationship-building help young students feel safe, confident, and engaged in a digital setting. Dr. Lowman Sikes highlights the importance of strong partnerships with families, developmentally appropriate teaching strategies, and a focus on social-emotional growth. She shares how virtual learning can still be interactive, nurturing, and joyful when teachers are purposeful about connection and communication. She proves that with the right support, early learners can thrive online and build a strong foundation for long-term academic success. Georgia Cyber Academy (GCA) is an online, tuition-free, public charter school serving students in grades K-12 throughout the state of Georgia. We provide a learning environment where students are empowered to reach their full academic potential through active participation in live interactive classes and an engaging curriculum that supports individualized and differentiated student learning paths.
