Online Learning: An opportunity to transform public education in Georgia <\/a><\/strong>— from talkgwinnett.net by Michael Horn [via Ray Schroeder] <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

From DSC:
\nBelow are some excerpts that caught my eye:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Nationwide, online learning is booming. A decade ago, fewer than 50,000 K-12 students took an online course; today more than 3 million students do, and the growth of online learning is accelerating. Twenty-seven percent of high school students report taking at least one online course in 2009.<\/p>\n

Increasingly, students are enrolling in blended or hybrid arrangements, where they learn at least in part at a supervised brick-and-mortar location away from home and at least in part through online delivery.<\/p>\n

Change in education is gradual, yet happening much faster than one might expect.<\/p>\n

The final direction is still unknown, but one hypothesis is that there will be, broadly speaking, three different roles for teachers of the future:<\/p>\n

\n
    \n
  • Master teachers who are content experts and can answer content-specific questions.<\/li>\n
  • Coaches whose job it is to mentor and motivate students to stay on task and work with them to find solutions for their individual problems when they are stuck.<\/li>\n
  • Case workers who work with children who have problems nonacademic in nature.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    Expect many teachers to spend less day-to-day time on lesson planning, delivering one-size-fits-none lectures and classroom management.<\/p>\n

    Teachers already in online environments are reporting that, by and large, they get to know each student far better than they ever did or could in a traditional classroom environment.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
