Statistics for December 2014

In what is a bit of an oddity, this entry is actually being written slightly in advance of the end of the month (so the statistics are as of approximately 3:00pm on 31 December – granted I doubt too many folks are checking this blog on New Year’s Eve).

This past month there were 3,710 visits to this blog from 2,335 unique visitors ( – which is down about 1,000 visits and 300 visitors since November, but still about 1300 or so visits more than December 2013.

The top ten entries this past month were:

1. Pick EdITLib This Autumn!
2. Questions About The School Of Tomorrow
3. Student Holiday Notice
4. Handbook of Research on K-12 Online and Blended Learning
5. Early Bird Special – May 2013
6. Instructional Technology Dissertation Topics
7. 2015 Annual USDLA Conference Call for Proposals – OPEN!
8. Dissertation Research Ideas?
9. Virtual Learning Awards Celebrating Outstanding Online And Blended Learning
10. New Webinars | Digital Tools, Blended Learning, Character Education…

Search engines continue to account for 10 hits to this blog for every one hit from another source. The top search terms that were used included:

• virtual school statistics 2014
• holiday note to students
• school of tomorrow curriculum
• barbour, m. k. (2012). training teachers for a virtual school system: a call to action. in d. polly, c. mims, & k. persichitte (eds)., creating technology-rich teacher education programs: key issues (pp. 499-517). hershey, pa: igi globa
• ace education australia criticism
• which students will not typically benefit from k-12 online learning?

And in a great example of how to screw up a good thing, it seems that all of the new statistical features that WordPress has introduced are useless for reporting into one’s own blog as you can’t copy and paste any of the information. Great #fail WordPress.com!!!

Finally, the statistics from my old blog site…
