In this article it talks about children taking online classes and how it can benefit many students in learning and also by helping them retake classes that they have failed. This is taking place in Oregon in 14 Lane County school districts. This has given the opportunity for many students to take classes online for the fact that many classes are over full with students and their are little teachers to teach them all. They started working with Creswell School District with 1300 students in which they had years of experience with working with online classes. They saw a better outcome in every student that took online classes and their grades began to improve over all. The classes are not all online, the ones that are offered are those classes that are not offered at the school and the students pay 10 percent of the cost. They also provide them with a class period in which they are able to work on this class during school hours. What this will do is keep them on track and actually help them not neglect the class and actually work on it in which helps students improve in their school work. All districts agreed that this would help their students and benefit them with their learning and gives them the chance to take classes that the school cannot offer because of shortage of the staff.
Q. How would this benefit me?
A. This would benefit me by learning about technology and how it is created to teach students that are still in high school. This would also give the school a chance to give more to the students rather than limit them on what is only offered in a classroom setting. This would benefit my learning skills on understanding how students learn better and what works best for them. It will also teach me to be a better teacher each year by learning from my prior experiences as well as learn more from technology and how to improve it each year for the benefit of the students.
Q. How would this benefit the student?
A. this would benefit the students by actually giving them an opportunity to explore how they learn best so that they are prepared for college and can pick classes that they are able to understand and learn the material better at their pace and understanding. This will also help students with retaking classes that they have failed and will give them the ability to choose what they feel would be their best learning experience. The students are learning more rather and they have a choice. With technology they have the ability to learn more than books in the library can offer in which gives them variety and doesn't limit their learning.
