Happy National Distance Learning Week...

...to everyone out there from all of us at District Administration. What, you didn't know it was National Distance Learning Week? And you didn't get me any gifts? Every year you do this, every year you forget that over 700,000 high school students are taking one or more courses online, that almost 40 states have established statewide or state-lead virtual schools, you conveniently put it out of your mind that e-Learning now represents 10% of the overall education and training market. Sigh.
But no matter! This week is sponsored by the U.S. Distance Learning Association, which offers a number of webinars about integrating different online technologies into your school or district through Friday, you can see the schedule here. Their site also has podcasts, articles and links on the subject. And for Pete's sake, put it on your calendar for next year already.
