How has your thinking about online schools and online schooling changed since the first week?
As I proceed on this journey of finding out how online schools function as accredited educational institutions offering either online courses or full classrooms, I am more confused than ever. One thing is prevalent and remains, education is a business. And like all businesses, one should be cautious and research thoroughly before choosing a school. State regulations and standards vary from state to state, but the online world opens up the opportunity to find quality learning outside one's state without having to physically travel. In other words, I am more cautious about the platforms being used, marketed and the overall effect on students utilizing virtual schools. My position on the ability of this technology to reach students remains positive, how it is being currently implemented has made me more cautious.
