The “Virtual” School

June 20, 2006 at 10:35 am · Filed under Events, Resources




Members of LTUG, USDLA, UKDLA & JeLA joined in cyberspace today to hear Dr. Kecia Ray, Policy and Strategic Planning at Nashville Public Schools and well-known industry author, speak on the topic of The “Virtual” School. Dr Ray reviewed some statistics related to virtual schools as well as defined different types of schools, instructional strategies and tools of VS.

She posed several questions at the end of her presentation & we’re addressing these through a discussion forum:

  • Where do we go from here?
  • How do university distance programs influence K-12 program models?
  • Are teachers prepared to teach via distance?
  • Will social skills be affected by online classroom design?
  • How does US compare with others in adoption of distance technologies?
