The report also found that students increasingly see benefits to online learning, with 57 percent of respondents in high school saying that it would put them in control of their learning, up from 40 percent in 2009, and 56 percent saying that it would allow them to work at their own pace, a five percent increase over the same period.

Good stats and on the correct course, thinking about it and not sounding negative, from observation, it's a mind set change with these 21st Century tools. Those who achieve are on top of this, and the others may feel an invasion of their personal worlds. Yet the mind set is shared with those in front them, standing at a podium. I have found it interesting that this year many sources for collaboration and social media have changed their logo to include Learning in their names. Instead of Social Network - Social Learning Network or Community.

Nothing like a winner, everyone gets on board.
