I would love to begin teaching my class via online! It's different! It's alive in other districts at the Middle School level! It's coming alive in others! The students would love it for various and sundry reasons. Of course, they are at home in their pajamas! They dont need to worry abut the huge textbook that they leave at school or misplace the one at home. They get to use technology more! It's natural for them! Seems like a win-win for them! From a District viewpoint, wouldn't this save money in the transportation area? I know there are other facts with technology like bandwidth, connectivity, etc to be addressed as well. Districts do not have the same funding as they used to and are having to become more and more creative. As a District, we need "to facilitate maximum learning.." That means that we should be seeing a different way of learning for students coming very soon. So, why not Online Learning! It's more planning for the teacher but after the initialization process, he/she will be updating as they go. They are numerous tools for them to use for organization purposes. I know there are sites in which they can set up their classes such as Blackboard and Moodle, to name a couple. Think about online learning if it's never crossed your mind. Remember, we are needing to reach our STUDENTS. So, be open! Is it applicable at any level? Talk back to me!
