At one point I thought Virtual Schooling was designed for students with serious behavior issues. These students would complete their assignments off site, with the intentions that they would still be able to learn by completing their assignments online.
I think that K12 on-line learning is a program designed for students that are home schooled. I believe there are teachers available to assist you with the assignments provided.
Virtual Schooling, Cyber Schooling and K12 on-line learning are all fairly new concepts. My concern is socialization skills. If students are sitting behind a computer throughout the day, how are they going to learn proper socialization skills.
Erika,
ReplyDeleteI, 100%, agree with your concerns regarding socializing skills students would miss if they take all courses online! This semester we have read studies which state students actually have more confidence to interact and collaborate within the online setting, however collaborating and interacting when pertaining to academics is vastly different than socializing in a non-academic setting.
