[|SESSION HANDOUT]


 * Wisconsin Virtual Schools (WVS)
 * CESA 9
 * CESA Service that serves the entire state WVS
 * Started as a recovery program but has since shifted to students taking classes because they are not offered at their own school district.
 * iNACOL : International Association for K12 Online Learning
 * Many different levels of blended learning: 1 of 8 classes are online, 8 of 8 classes on line with some face to face learning or check ups/presentations, etc.
 * BL is one of three emerging trends in national education
 * Support person for the online learner is essential. Not just the teacher! Not a person who signs them up and then has no meaningful contact after that.
 * One successful model for blended learning is to have a teacher meet students in a classroom - they may be taking different classes online. The teacher is then responsible for being online themselves, responding to students, grading subjective posts, etc. When the classes are aligned (physics and AP physics) they can participate in labs f2f with the instructor. (The Algoma Model...)
 * The student should not have to click more than three to four times before they are //engaged!//
 * Course coding in WI? NCAA eligibility with blended learning? Must make sure in advance! Anything that looks looks like Odysseyware gets a red flag with NCAA. NCAA requires a teacher to be directly involved in the teaching.
