Yahoo Online has an article describing a new Michigan high school graduation requirement. Students must complete an online course or learning experience to qualify for graduation. The article states “the State Board of Education will approve the basic level of technology and Internet access required for pupils to complete the online course or learning experience.”
I have no idea what problems this will create, but I like the idea. Mandate that students and the educational infrastructure deal with the challenges of online learning. One such experience, blended with traditional experiences, seems a good way to start.
