Resources for Online Learning

As stated in May 4, 2010, PARADE, "more than 175,000 students in 25 states are going to class by turning on a computer...If current trends continue, half of all high school courses will be taught on the web in 10 years."

 

Nationally, the number of K-12 students taking online courses rose to more than a million public school students during the 2007-08 school year, a 47 percent increase from the previous year.   Source:  Sloan Consortium – www.edweek.org/go/tc09
