Day 4 assignments - Online learning

Article summaries:

I looked at BlueSky Charter School and was not impressed with their course offerings in terms of the math department; and I know one of teh math teachers. The "typical" lesson they showed was just a Power Point presentation, and I don't think that would be very effective or engaging. The Laurel Springs Academy looked much better organized and the sample curriculum was much more entertaining and engaging. The platform they used to deliver it seemed much more professional. Aurora looks like a good method of delivery. They also seemed to have a mixture of web based, text based, and mixed courses. But it was pretty spendy - $600/semester or $950/year for a course.
