Canby schools look to expand online - TOM QUINN, the Oregonian
The Canby School District is planning a major expansion of its online learning program, including using the technology to transform traditional notions of summer school. The district is interviewing candidates for a newly created position of coordinator for technology and information systems, which pays $77,000 to $82,000 a year. Once the post is filled -- perhaps as early as next week -- a top priority of the job will be to research, develop and support online learning. "We're not at the front end of this curve, and we need to play catch up," Deborah Sommer, Canby's superintendent, said about the growing number of students throughout the country taking some of their classes through the Web. "It's not a panacea, but I think online learning is one more option we need to put in place for kids."
