A new way to learn: Bell rings for virtual schools - ERICKA MELLON, Houston Chronicle
The children are enrolled in a new virtual school run through the Houston Independent School District and the Baltimore for-profit company Connections Academy. The free, public school — where students take lessons at home using computers, DVDs and textbooks — is part of a national movement to expand online learning. Interest among parents and students has been high, but critics question the rigor of some virtual programs and worry they will drain money from traditional public schools, while boosting corporate bottom lines.
Comments:
Ray, it's very interesting how online learning is now reaching to 3 through 8 graders.
