  • Virtual schools can be divided into three broad categories. These are the independent, collaborative and broadcast models, respectively.

      I think it is a good way to look at virtual schooling and break it down
    • Kayla Geiger
      Kayla Geiger on 22 Sep 11
       
      It is useful to think about the different opportunities that students can have in their virtual schools. Since the author is looking at different categories that is good so we can learn more about how virtual schools function.
  • "it is no longer necessary to learn from a textbook alone or to follow a set schedule of class time...The classroom walls are taken down and learning is possible anytime the student has access to a computer ...and the Internet".

  • Her child can move quickly through her strong subjects, and spend more time on her weaker areas, like math.
    • Victoria Zuber
      Victoria Zuber on 22 Sep 11
       
      This is definitly a pro for virtual schools because students are able to take more time on something they don't understand rather than only having a set amount of time a day.
    • Rachel Kennell
      Rachel Kennell on 22 Sep 11
       
      Will students be forced to take the time to learn what they aren't as good at, or will they be able to just skip over some of those things?
  • “There has been no valid study showing that children participating in virtual or computer-based learning models are performing any better than in traditional schools.”
    • Victoria Zuber

      Without any evidence of whether or not these virtual schools are effective makes it difficult to decide whether these are beneficial or not.
    • Kayla Geiger

      This comment is important because if virtual schools are going to start spreading we need to make sure that they are improving students or at least doing just as well as students in traditional schools.
  • enrollment in online classes reached the 1 million mark last year. Some experts predict that by 2019 half of courses in Grades 9 to 12 will be delivered online.

Virtual Homeschooling - 3 views

  • Virtual school students are provided with all of the materials they need to complete the program free of charge.
    • Victoria Zuber
      Victoria Zuber on 20 Sep 11
       
      This is interesting because on ivirtual webiste it stated that there would be extra costs to those who chose virtual education.
  • Parents are told what and how to teach, and must adhere to the approved curriculum, school schedule and state standards.
    • Victoria Zuber
      Victoria Zuber on 20 Sep 11
       
      This is important to note because not all parents have the ability to help their children with homework let alone be like a teacher to them for virtual schooling.
    • Rachel Kennell
      Rachel Kennell on 22 Sep 11
       
      Aren't there some options for virtual schools that don't make the parents be teachers? Can they learn by watching a teacher live or other methods?
    • Heather Hardman
      Heather Hardman on 22 Sep 11
       
      There may be video's for parents to watch on how to teach their children but those techniques are not always helpful to their child because the child may not meet the learned objective or goal that is set for them.
    • Kayla Geiger
      Kayla Geiger on 22 Sep 11
       
      Homeschooling has many issues that people talk about anyway, so virtual schooling is even more of an issue because students do not even have to speak with their parents, it is all online. This is something that I think the author should think about.

      This is a great website.
  • But as the idea of virtual education catches on throughout the country, educators say there are pros and cons to cyber classes and a number of hurdles that schools must overcome.
    • Samantha Smith
      Samantha Smith on 20 Sep 11
       
      I think schools are gonna have to overcome different hurdles if virtual schooling becomes more popular
    • Rachel Kennell
      Rachel Kennell on 22 Sep 11
       
      What kinds of hurdles will they have to overcome? Is it really going to affect public schools very much if a few more students start choosing virtual schooling?
    • Heather Hardman
      Heather Hardman on 22 Sep 11
       
      Schools may have to overcome obstacles but though students may choose to use cyber classes public schools will not be affected that much. Public schools provide different opportunities for students with in their classrooms but if the cyber classes become popular the number of students that attend public schools will start to decline which may cause problems.
    • Kayla Geiger

      There are pros and cons to almost every situation that happens in schools. The author is saying that school is having difficulties for students and teachers, but students and teachers have hurdles without virtual schooling.
  • They say the online classes provide educational alternatives for non-traditional learners such as home schooled students and teens who have dropped out of secondary schools.
    • Samantha Smith
      Samantha Smith on 20 Sep 11
       
      I think it may be good but then students will miss the face to face communication
    • Rachel Kennell
      Rachel Kennell on 22 Sep 11
       
      What about when they can actually see the teacher and the teacher can see the students by video schooling? Then they still have face to face communication.
    • Heather Hardman
      Heather Hardman on 22 Sep 11
       
      When using the virtual schooling yes there may be times that the students can use video schooling to work with the instructor and have that face-to-face communication. There may be times when the students have a question that needs to be answered in person like a math problem and need it shown out.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • But virtual classes are not for every student. Students who learn better through verbal cues may have trouble with online classes. Students who do not communicate well in writing may have problems trying to get their point across in e-mails. Other students may not be self-motivated enough to stick with an online class. "It is not a learning style that works for everyone.

      I think it does depend on the student and how they learn and what is best for them.

Virtual Charter Schools: Pros and Cons of the Growing Trend - Public School Review - 2 views

  • Just as the internet has changed the way Americans shop, date, and stay updated with the news, it is also changing the landscape of American education
    • Samantha Smith
      Samantha Smith on 22 Sep 11
       
      I think this is a great statement, which means it will change how education is formed
  • Virtual charter schools also eliminate social and behavioral issues that are prevalent at public schools, especially at the high school level
    • Samantha Smith
      Samantha Smith on 22 Sep 11
       
      This may be true but virtual schooling is not going to change the attitude of the students
    • Kayla Geiger
      Kayla Geiger on 22 Sep 11
       
      I think this point is a good point for the Author to bring up. This makes me think the author really cares about students. However social issues are a large issues for school who aren't doing virtual schooling let alone schools that are. The internet is changing how students communicate, which is changing relationships in schools.
    • Rachel Kennell
      Rachel Kennell on 22 Sep 11
       
      Can you really know if it will or won't change the attitude of the student? It could be argued that the influence of peers in the school setting does have an enormous effect on a person's personality or attitude.
    • Heather Hardman
      Heather Hardman on 22 Sep 11
       
      Though virtual charter schools may eliminate social and behavior issues that are prevalent at the public schools the students will be unable to form friendships with other students that come with attending public schools. Also this may be easier for them to learn in an environment that they are comfortable with.

  • It is literally access to knowledge, educational freedom, electronic communication, flexibility and creativity all in one learning method. Online learning provides a tool to teach students to become self-directed learners—a skill that will last them a lifetime.
    • Victoria Zuber
      Victoria Zuber on 20 Sep 11
       
      I think this is an important statement because it allows individuals who are either busy with extra curiculars and also with adults who never finished high school. I also like the statement that it teaches students to become self-directed learners.
    • Rachel Kennell
      Rachel Kennell on 22 Sep 11
       
      Do virtual schools force them to become self-directed learners, or do some programs just let people slide by without putting as much effort into it as you would going to actual school?
    • Heather Hardman
      Heather Hardman on 22 Sep 11
       
      Online learning may provide the tool for students to become more self-directed learners, though its a helpful skill, but they do miss out on building relationships and social skills that are learned through the public school system.
  • Many virtual schools offer dual enrollment at the high school level allowing students to earn both high school and college credit
    • Victoria Zuber
      Victoria Zuber on 20 Sep 11

      Kayla Geiger on 22 Sep 11
       
      This author is evaluating many different sides to this subject. With this quotes they are saying that students can earn high school and college credits which is great, but then they say that these virtual schools are going to be expensive for students. This author wants to weight the pros and cons.
  • The costs associated with these types of programs include not only the tuition associated with the online program but also costs for supplies, tutors, computers and other materials necessary to complete the online courses.
    • Victoria Zuber
      Victoria Zuber on 20 Sep 11
       
      This is important to note because even thought public schools are 100% free you may end up paying a lot more for an online education.
    • Rachel Kennell
      Rachel Kennell on 22 Sep 11
       
      If you choose virtual school, do you still have to pay for the public school system? That may be something that those considering virtual school should take into account.
    • Heather Hardman
      Heather Hardman on 22 Sep 11
       
      Considering the costs for the virtual programs they could cost more or about the same as a public school system because most people do not have the supplies. On a positive side it may cost less to do these programs with children depending on how much the parent is willing to spend additionally to the tuition.

    • Victoria Zuber
      Victoria Zuber on 22 Sep 11
       
      While parents teach their children a lot, there is a difference when it comes to school work. Some people have the ability to get through to kids and some do not.
  • the truth is that parents who are schooling their children at home (or using virtual school) will need to be very intentional about giving their child opportunities for things would occur regularly within a brick and mortar school. This not only includes social interaction, but things like physical education, and music and art opportunities.

    Local education agency-based. A large number of local public schools and school districts have created their own virtual schools, mainly to serve their own supplemental or alternative education needs and to reach out to home school populations. They usually employ their own regular certified K-12 teachers, either within the regular course of instruction, or "on the side." - Creating their own online schools may be beneficial for some people in the school district because some students get bullied however don't want to move. Also allows the school district to keep the test scores of those students who choose to do online schooling.

    Beaudoin recognized that faculty would have to adjust monitoring and evaluating the work of geographically distant learners rather than transmit information in person (Beaudoin, 1990) - I can see how contacting students for a teacher would be difficult when you could have students in different states for the same class. Along with the fact that technology can be very temperamental so you can't always rely on it.
