Embracing online learning’s promise - Susan Patrick, East Valley Tribune
Hours before the sun rose and you opened your newspaper this morning, a Mesa high school senior reported for calculus class and turned in an assignment to her teacher. A 12-year-old competitive ice skater headed for the rink in Tempe with her entire school tucked into her gym bag. A third grader from Gilbert battling cancer slept peacefully having finished all November’s curriculum in preparation for his next bout of chemotherapy. These Arizona students and thousands like them around the state are pioneers in the 21st century education phenomenon known as K-12 online learning. Aided by technology and guided by licensed, specially trained Arizona teachers, these students can truly learn anytime and anywhere, whether for one course or their entire school program.
