Online Learning Teaching software reaches more kids - Ruma Kumar, Baltimore Sun
A spiral wraps around a graph, curlicues seemingly drawing themselves on the computer screen in front of Chesapeake High School senior Matt Phipps. The computer is broadcasting the work of teacher Josh Dorsey, who is drawing a helix 14 miles away at South River High School. He is also laying the foundation for a calculus 3 lesson on calculating the movement of objects through multiple dimensions (think of a satellite hurtling through space). "In calculus, a lot of the concepts are abstract, so it's hard to explain," said Matt, 17. "[Dorsey] doesn't drone. He cracks jokes ... develops a personal relationship, even though he's not standing right in front of us."
