Q&A Webinar: How Are School Districts Leading in Online/Blended Learning?

“Keeping Pace” author John Watson and virtual education coordinator Dan Mahlandt of Ephrata Area School District in Pennsylvania discuss how school districts across the country are creating digital learning opportunities for students

Baltimore, Maryland (PRWEB) November 17, 2014

Increasingly, online and blended learning is shifting from state-level programs toward individual school districts that are creating digital learning opportunities for their own students, according to key findings in the 2014 report, Keeping Pace With K-12 Digital Learning.

“We have examined the status of K-12 online education nationwide for the last 11 years. Digital learning has changed markedly, as the latest trends in state policies and practices show,” said John Watson, Founder of Evergreen Education Group and author of the annual Keeping Pace report.

Nationwide, many school districts are using a variety of digital learning resources for K-12 students—but there are significant differences in the types and goals of the digital resources used and how they are used, Watson added.
