So what are the areas that it has touched and how has it changed them? School Administration School Curriculum / Lesson Plans Examinations Technology as a subject Communications

The theme of this week is Virtual School. Try googling “Virtual School” and the number of results returned is, hold your breath, 144,000,000! So this must be quite a popular concept. So what exactly is a Virtual School? Definition Wikipedia defines it as “a school where students of all ages can do their coursework online. Most states in the United States have their own virtual school, and many of them have students numbering in the thousands. By providing a student's social security number the person is then entered into a database where they can chose which classes they want to take”. It further says that “Virtual Schools now exist all around the world, but are used primarily in the United States. The schools have now been integrated into public schools, where students sit in computer labs and do their work online. In other situations, students can be completely home schooled, or they can take any combination of public/private/home schooling and online classes.” |
