Are You Ready? Jump In...

Are you ready to jump into elearning? WE ARE! At our local high school, we have begun building a self paced online learning environment.

As mentioned previously, we are using Edu 2.0 as our LMS platform. Where are we receiving direction? I'm glad you asked! If you have ever thought of jumping into elearning, below are some must have resources. Best of all, they are FREE.

• eBooks via The eLearning Guild


• "How to" via iNACOL


• Standards for Program, Teachers, and Courses


• Content Standards via Common Core

Why are we traveling this adventure?  OUR STUDENTS;)  Even though we are currently running a "rough pilot" of what we will officially begin next year, there have been numerous successes.  In fact my next post will be on just that...student success!
