Virtual Schooling: Online classrooms multiply, despite questions - School News staff and wire reports

When Tom Franke teaches astronomy on Monday nights, he’s not at his chalkboard at Hopkins High School in Golden Valley, Minn.

Students at home see his drawing appear simultaneously on their computer screens.
