Distance Learning in K-12 Education

The few things that I know already about distance education within the K-12 School system are listed below.
  • Students can go to a virtual classroom everyday instead of a traditional school
  • Students are now offered more online programs through University's while in High School for college credit.
  • If students cannot pass a course in high school, they have the option of taking it through Florida Virtual Schools.
  • Schools that may not be able to assist Gifted children within a normal classroom setting, are now able to assist these students by certain programs on the Internet that challenge these students.
  • There are thousands of websites available for Elementary and High School students to use to help or challenge them in the school subject of their choice.

The facts above I have lived or have learned about throughout the past few years. I cannot wait to find out more about the Distance Education opportunities available for these students!

The links below are of interesting websites that tap on each of the different aspects of distance education within the K-12 spectrum.
