As the school year winds down at the Open High School of Utah, I look back at 2010-11 and am thrilled with the transformative power that technology played in preparing my students for what lies ahead. The use of technology — real-world technology — transcends the barriers of time and place and allows students access to knowledge anytime, anyplace. As an online school, our methods can be described as “one-on-one tutoring for every student in every subject”. Instruction is individualized, allowing students to work at their pace and on their needs. Our technology instantaneously tracks the students and their performance. Today’s learners are digital natives who connect to each other and to areas of interest via technology.
