Online Schooling

I recently read the article ‘Kansas launches tuition-free online public high school’ posted on The Journal. I decided to make a post on this article as i believe it is important and would be great in Australia. Although this article is based on High school i believe that primary students should also be provided with the opportunity to learn and study through the internet. This article discusses the ability for disabled, home-schooled and students who lives in rural areas an opportunity to learn at an equal level to those students who attend the schools. The great choice of providing this opportunity for free would allow students who have financial difficulties to learn in an ample amount of time. The article also states that schools will provide laptops and riemberce the cost of the internet which is so intriguing and positive. This gives ALL students the opportunity to learn and enhance their education. This idea would be great in Australia. Students who have language difficulties would be able to learn off their computers and not fall behind, students are able to educational learn through technology and would give students who are unable to attend schools the ability to learn throughout the entire year. Limitations in this concept is that teachers already have a lack of time to teach students and are constantly using their own time, thus in using the online tutorials the teachers would have to use a lot of their own personal time. Another limitation is that students may not follow learning outcomes and indicators and become distracted. However overall i believe that providing students who are disadvantaged the ability to learn at home, using technology, is defiantly a great concept.
