I saw a flier recently from a local public school announcing special online programs for summer time learning. The ad touted “Exceptionally effective online instruction” and “Individualized Programs.” No doubt this school district has seen the proven results of online curriculum. After all, students working at their own pace in a supported program become motivated and successful learners.
What a great idea for summer!
But what about the rest of the year?
Truth is, online learning is available all year long. To any student. Any student with internet access can benefit from online learning. Whether needing extra practice or itching to excel in a particular subject, there are programs tailored to every need and learning style.
So where can you find online curriculum? Here are three great sites:
Global Student Network What makes www.globalstudentnetwork.com unique? The fact that GSN offers not just one but SIX online curriculum programs! At Global, you can compare programs, view demos, and even speak with an enrollment specialist.
United Digital Learning What if you could “try on” a curriculum before committing long term? You can do exactly that at www.uniteddigitallearning.com. UDL offers six programs at affordable monthly payments.
International Virtual Learning Academy Need the support of a certified teacher? That’s what IVLA is all about. At IVLA students have the flexibility of online learning at home in addition to the guidance and input of teachers. Go to www.internationalvla.com to check out this homeschool/private school hybrid.
Summer is right around the corner and no doubt your family is thinking about trips, days at the beach, camping. That’s what summer is all about! But effective online learning can be ANY TIME, ANYWHERE!!
