And the vendor contacting begins… This is the first one, of which I expect there will be many leading up to the Virtual School Symposium (and after it for that matter)….
Greetings friends,
I hope that NACOL’s Virtual School Symposium (Oct 26-28) is on your calendar this year. Having been involved in K12 online learning for over a decade now, it is amazing to see the growth of our industry and to see the sharing of best practices that occurs among online programs and educators who are dedicated to providing academic options for students.
If you or your program are interested in learning how online tutoring can effectively support your students and teachers, I welcome you to join me in a session titled: “Online Tutoring: Exploring options that best meet the needs of your K-12 students” on October 28th (Tuesday) at 9:00am.
During this session I will share my personal experiences in using online tutoring services; everything from why and how they can be effective, challenges for successful implementation, and what criteria to consider when implementing online tutoring. We will explore best practices at the elementary and secondary school level. A case study of how online tutoring has been effectively implemented for elementary aged students will also be presented by Rahul Gupta of Ed2Net Learning.
Best wishes to you and your program and safe travels to AZ for VSS 2008.
Sincerely,
Bruce Friend
