It makes me feel like we live in the dark ages here when our student handbook states that students are not allowed to bring laptops to school.

Hearing her response about how this program is motivating independent learning and creating self identification of interests really shows the positives. It's also nice to hear the strides they are taking to accommodate the whole community (technology night and working with the local libraries). I'm extremely impressed with this districts push to have each student participate in an online course before graduation. Talk about really thinking ahead to prepare their students for the future. Even if a student isn't going on to college, they will know they have the ability to succeed in online learning. Scott-Great questions for Marge.
