"Online education is quickly becoming a prominent and important piece of the education pie in the United States. The explosive growth of this segment of education, even during a recession, is nothing short of spectacular. It is becoming clear that there is a fundamental shift in how Americans are being educated after high school. The flexibility, lower cost, and variety of choice are just some of the reasons that online education is growing at its current pace. The following infographic will give you a better idea of the scope, impact, and future of online education. Enjoy!"
Online learning is sweeping across America. In the year 2000, roughly 45,000 K-12 students took
an online course. In 2009, more than 3 million K-12 students did. What was originally a distancelearning
phenomenon no longer is. Most of the growth is occurring in blended-learning environments,
in which students learn online in an adult-supervised environment at least part of the time. As this
happens, online learning has the potential to transform America's education system by serving as the
backbone of a system that offers more personalized learning approaches for all students.

A "build" option allows them to construct animated characters and set them in motion. This Art Zone program is fun for children of all ages. (Requires Shockwave)
