use technology within teaching”

“Parents won’t accept online textbooks”
“Kids only want to use mobiles so that they can text
& play games in class”

child in the class that allowed the devices?

Why take an online class?

For high school students, traditional reasons
are important such as scheduling and college
credit.
For middle school students, it’s about
changing the learning paradigm.
For all students, potential for personalization
of learning is highly valued – more today than
ever before.


Online learning – it is all about personalization!
