Students in Virginia’s public schools have long been expected to graduate with a solid grasp of the technology affecting every facet of daily life. The state’s Standards of Learning call for students to learn, as early as kindergarten, about computers, and the framework provides a pathway for incorporating technology in the classroom and discussing its impact. It only seems natural that state officials would push deeper. And they are. Lawmakers approved a requirement, to take effect in the fall of 2013, for students entering high school to take at least one online course as a condition of graduation.
