I have the wonderful opportunity this spring to be teaching an online Personel Health course for high school students in the South Carolina Virtual High School system. I have 27 diverse, active, and fun students from all over the state. Some are taking this state required Health course because they need more AP classes to apply to Ivy League schools and others are working hard to earn a diploma. We are only 2 weeks into the course and our learning community is connected, interacting and sharing ideas. As a certified Health educator I always told students that health was the most important class they take in high school because as young adults they are making lifestyle choices that will stay with them for the rest of their lives.
Now here is what I have to share today. This article below about the present state of education in this country and how online learning environments are going to grow is worth your time to read. It is brief, to the point, and cited well.
