Posted in Promising Practices, Speak Up by admin @ Sep 22, 2009

The Speak Up 2008 data findings about Online Learning will be presented
during a one-hour webinar on Tues., Sep 22nd at 2:00pm Eastern (11:00am
Pacific). During the web presentation Julie Evans – CEO, Project Tomorrow®
will explore the Speak Up 2008 findings and facilitate a panel discussion
with district administrators who are implementing online learning.

The Speak Up 2008 reveals students want to learn online because they:


  • gain more control of their own learning experience, have access to
    more courses and work at their own pace.
  • review materials when they want and are more comfortable asking
    teachers for help.
  • earn college credit or get extra help in a subject.

This webinar will highlight the growing student interest for online
learning and how districts and schools are meeting that demand.
Participants will gain insight about why students and teachers want access
to classes online, the current challenges faced by districts with online
learning implementations, and how online learning presents unprecedented
opportunities for meeting the needs of our 21st century learner.
