How does one take the distance out of distance education? - Mary Mitchell, Kay Ruhle, and Doris McManus, techLearning
At Florida Virtual School, one way we strive to do that is through our online clubs. We believe our clubs create a four-way community involving parents, students, teachers and the school. The clubs promote camaraderie among partners usually vastly removed from each other. Like clubs in a traditional setting, they also allow for further exploration of the subject beyond the school lesson. Presently, we have three clubs: the Science Club, the Junior Classical League, and our newspaper, News In a Click. These clubs are outgrowths of the respective classroom disciplines.
