Online Learning: What Every Parent Should Know
Network for Public Education
Using technology to deliver instruction in schools has become increasingly popular. Students are required to use online programs, textbooks and apps as part of their classwork and homework. BYOD (bring your own device) school policies have filled classrooms and hallways with students carrying smart phones, laptops and iPads. The increased reliance on technology in schools is moving at a breakneck speed--one that far exceeds the accumulation of research on its effectiveness. Does online and blended learning enhance student learning? What do we know about virtual schools? How does profit influence policy decisions on the use technology? Beyond questions of effectiveness, there are also student privacy concerns. These are some of the big questions that this report answers. This report provides critical information on what is known and what remains unknown. It also provides parents with the questions they should ask their schools as technology is rolled into the classroom.
