Virtual classrooms link students from a variety of backgrounds and locations. Taking high school classes on the Internet is an educational innovation that’s becoming more and more popular in Maine schools, and it’s easy to see why. Signing students up for courses in subjects that may not be available in a given school allows them to join others across the nation and even the world interested in topics that may only attract a single student in any one location.
