An important document to read. How the tech trends will impact k12 education - or SHOULD impact it, at least. Idea - share this with your building principal and invite a discussion.

shared by anonymous on 19 Aug 09 - Cached

Some of it was in K-12 settings, but most of the comparative studies were done in colleges and adult continuing-education programs of various kinds, from medical training to the military.

  I think that this fact is VERY important if one is going to draw a conclusion for K12, dont you?

“The study’s major significance lies in demonstrating that online learning today is not just better than nothing — it actually tends to be better than conventional instruction,”

  I would agree, as long as we're talking about colleges and adult learners, but I don't think we can naturally draw the same conclusion for k12 where the learners are less intrinsically motivated.

But the report does suggest that online education could be set to expand sharply over the next few years, as evidence mounts of its value.

The real promise of online education, experts say, is providing learning experiences that are more tailored to individual students than is possible in classrooms. That enables more “learning by doing,” which many students find more engaging and useful.

  Yes, if there's enough time to 'cover' all the material that you must, in order to be ready for the PSSA tests.

“People are correct when they say online education will take things out the classroom. But they are wrong, I think, when they assume it will make learning an independent, personal activity. Learning has to occur in a community.

  Really? Well, if that's true, THEN can we get the social learning tools like Diigo, unblocked in school? Or, must schools ignore the evidence and continue plodding along in isolation?

I would agree that for colleges and adult learners it might be, but I'm not convinced that the same holds true for K12.

Learning has to occur in a community, eh? If that's true, THEN can we get twitter, skype, Flickr, youtube, Diigo, etc unblocked so we can take advantage of that community?

This article talks about a program to implement net books to be available to all high school students. The school is taking it to the next level trying to figure out a way to ensure all students have affordable access to internet. I think it is a very good idea to take technology to the next level by helping students get access to internet at home. Students need a way to be connected if the school wants to take learning to a new level.
