Virtual Schooling
By Niki Davis and Dale S. Niederhauser
I have heard of online classes being offered in college, but not in K-12 education. Apparently, this trend of virtual schooling has been happening at the high school level for several years, and has grown increasingly popular, even reaching many of the middle grades. Teachers and students use e-mail, videoconferencing, and a learning management system, such as blackboard. Most professors at CSUSM use the WebCT software to facilitate their classes, and to move to more of a paperless system. Teachers can prepare to move into the VS system with help from the Teacher Education Goes Into Virtual Schooling project, which is lead by Niki Davis and supported by the U.S. Department of Education. Virtual Schooling is becoming common, and educators must be up for the challenge because ours students depend on us.
