Consider the exciting innovations that are occurring with online or virtual learning. Across the country, more than 1 million children are participating in various forms of online learning. These programs include full-time virtual schools, supplemental online courses and classroom-based online instruction. By harnessing the power of technology, students can be taught any time, anywhere by some of the best teachers in the world. They can learn at their own pace — progressing to new lessons when they excel or receiving additional instruction when they struggle. Classrooms of students can receive individualized, customized instruction with a teacher’s support and supervision. These innovative programs provide a glimpse of American education’s exciting future. The challenge for policymakers in Oklahoma and beyond is to implement policy reforms that will let families take full advantage of the best learning options for their children.
