Williamson County Schools will offer online courses this fall, joining a growing number of districts nationwide offering virtual learning. The district already embraces technology in the classroom — students bring their own devices for classwork and teachers draft lesson plans that incorporate technology. But this is the first time the district will oversee online high school courses. Only high school students will be able to take online courses in the district’s first year of implementation. The coursework won’t be completely virtual; as of now, the district will require students to meet with teachers at least twice a week. This combination of online coursework and in-person meetings is known as blended learning.
