Online learning has the potential to vastly improve the educational experience of American children. And at the same time, it can empower families to be their child’s educational manager. There will come a day when families can design a portfolio for their child that includes a little of everything on the educational options menu: home schooling coupled with online courses, public or private school coupled with a virtual tutor, available 24 hours per day. The possibilities are endless.
Virtual learning environments are a great way to supplement (or in some cases, replace) your gifted student’s regular classroom setting. Check with your state or local school board to verify that virtual learning credits will count towards your district’s graduation requirements. This seems to vary widely even among districts in the same state, so YMMV.
