]]> Comment on Transforming Schools for the 21st Century by Linroy Kilgore http://projectred.org/news/?p=10&cpage=1#comment-21 Linroy Kilgore Mon, 16 Nov 2009 07:04:56 +0000 http://projectred.org/news/?p=10#comment-21 I see a trend in America where online schools are the fastest growing segment in many states. In my home state of Texas, many public school districts are either building their own online school or contracting with private online schools and/or curriculum development companies. Many states are building a statewide virtual school. I've built two virtual schools myself, one for a Texas school district and the other a private for-profit operation. Now that I have become an overseas teacher, teaching in Alexandria, Egypt, I am building an online school for my international school, particularly while we deal with issues like H1N1 school closures and the like. So, I believe we have only touched the tip of the iceberg when it comes to online schools, but even after all I have seen and been a part of, I still believe the strongest 21st Century learning environment is a blending of the virtual and the physical - a face-to-face school that incorporates online courseware.

We know that virtual school attendance has grown dramatically b/c of the flexibility of time, space and increased learning opportuntiies. Strides have been made in the quality of content and delivery. Let your voice be heard on this topic among your legislators:) Thanks for your comments! Virtualparent:

All states should have this option. How about bringing the K-12 students into the 21st Century by offering them the choice to Virtual school fulltime? All states should have this option.
