In Wisconsin, online teachers must complete thirty hours of professional development designed to prepare a teacher for online teaching. K-12 schools more and more are starting to incorporate online classes into their class options. It is now offered in 48 states and is growing rapidly. Some people believe that online learning is not as substantial as learning in a classroom. The great part about online classes is that is teaches students to be independent. Students working on classwork and participation in virtual lessons can “go to school” on their own time and learn to manage their time effectively and get assignments done by a certain time. They are able to relax in their own environment, be able to have lunch while doing schoolwork, wear a warm blanket and listen to music if that helps them concentrate. They are able to tailor their learning environment to something that exactly suits them.
