Final Blog Post- Virtual Schooling and 21f


Online Learning is something that as we see in Michigan and everywhere is essential for students. As we see in Michigan it is something that is mandated. From, the research that I’ve learned I believe online learning is certainly beneficial for students.

Though the framework of 21f is rather complex; it seems that me that they are setting the students up to achieve and learn in greater depths through the use of online learning. Online learning gives students the option to be self-sufficient and to learn within their own pace. They have a guided instructor’s to help them entirely throughout the process. So online learning is certainly best geared toward meeting the demands of the student, for that purpose.

·         Scenario 1-If a student is residing within a rural area, being able to utilize online learning might save them time while enhancing their learning capacity. Many times, in certain Districts they have a set standard practice with regard to the classes that students can take. So being able to have the functionality of online learning is superior in this case.

·         Scenario 2- In this case if the student has an overbearing parent and who would like to enroll their son into an online classroom, it would be helping the student.  The purpose of a having a good teacher-student ratio is helping to provide the student with the best possible outcome in any given equation. So within this situation, is ensuring that we aren’t setting the student up for more failures. It seems in this case, having the practicality of online learning would be the best possible solution.

Though, I am not currently teaching. As I’ve mentioned in my earlier posts. I am very supportive of online learning or e learning as some might call it. It’s useful within any situation; because of the fact that it is always accessible.

    I think its good that Michigan has made virtual schooling a mandate and many other states must feel the same way, as they are following suit and doing the same thing. I agree with you that virtual schooling only adds to the level of education for our students. And though many don't agree that it should be a mandate, I disagree. We have to start hiring the standards for our children so that they can be competitive around the world.
