Hank Pellissier asks the question, “Is online education the future?” Of course, at least some the time for almost all students and almost all formal school lessons for fewer learners.
While not a new question or response, they’re a timely repeat as public school boards of education and administrators meet more restrictive budget demands than previously. Also, about 450,000 PK12 students now use online learning instead of public schools.
Hank’s subtitle is intriguing: “Find out why more students are opting for digital learning.”
“In the last five years, online learning has become much more proven and mainstream,” says Jeff Kwitowski, vice president of public relations for K12. “It’s differentiated, engaging, and it really provides the ideal situation for many students.” K12 enrolls 70,000 learners, up 23.7% from 2009.
Hank answers his question with more data. A worthy read.
Kudos, K12, Kahn Academy and other digital educators!
