Leading the Way in K-12 Distance Education

Since K-12 Education is my area, I decided to look up online innovations for this field. The innovations I found were quite interesting. Take a look.....

Pearson Education is known worldwide. This corporation leads the pack in many areas of education. I never knew that they had any online programs. When I think of Pearson Education, I think of my textbooks that I had in Elementary School. This company has went above and beyond the textbook. Pearson Education now has a Digital Learning department. This department has 5 different innovative programs that are the first of their kind.

(1) Waterford Early Reading Program - motivates and moves first grade students at their own pace.

(2) SuccessMaker - "offers a powerful combination of management system, assessment, and curriculum resources to provide administrators, teachers, and students with tools to improve academic performance." SuccessMaker is wonderful! I have had first-hand experience with this program. The school I have worked in the past two years uses this program. It is a great intervention tool that helps track a students weaknesses and gains.

(3) ELLIS - Helps move your English Language Learners towards basic English fluency.

(4) KnowledgeBox - is a "digital learning system for reading/language arts, math, science, and social studies, KnowledgeBox seamlessly delivers a wealth of instructional media designed specifically to help meet the varied needs of learners in 21st Century classrooms."

(5) NovaNET - "Designed for grades 6-12, NovaNET is a comprehensive, online courseware system that meets countless needs. From delivering thousands of hours of research and standards-based, interactive curriculum, to integrated assessment and student management, NovaNET is an all-inclusive system that delivers a return on investment quickly. "

These unique online innovations for the K-12 field are truly amazing! I can't wait to find out what else is out there. All of this is just from one corporation! More to come.....
