Online learning earns a net gain - Niesha Lofing, McClatchy Newspapers
Dylan Holcomb's 10th-grade English students shouted the names of Shakespeare's plays as they identified them while watching a YouTube clip of "Jeopardy!" Earlier, Holcomb used Google Earth to show his Del Oro High School students the distance between Venice and Cyprus, where the play "Othello" is set, and had them calculate the distance. "When you use a YouTube clip of a guy doing Shakespeare in England, they're impressed," Holcomb said. "It speaks to them a little more because that's their generation. They live in that world. They live in the Internet."
