On-line Learning

Posted by grpstechnology on April 28, 2009

So you have probably heard the buzz about on-line learning.  Many schools are implementing this type of instruction.  With this phrase you hear the following words: easy, seat-time, credit recovery, AP, scheduling, replacement, unknown, difficult, alternative, and many many more.  This I find to be very confusing as these are words that you should also hear when you talk about on-line learning: accountable, ownership, rigorous, flexible, effort-based, facilitator, partnership, personalized, aligned, 21st century, again and many many more.

I post these two websites with a challenge and that challenge is to read, process, and take into consideration all of the words you see listed up above and then visit the websites.  As you are there however look at how those words apply in what you read about what on-line learning can be and make your list of vocabulary words to give meaning to the phrase, “on-line learning” for yourself.
