This week on Florida Matters we debate the pros and cons of online learning in high school with a panel of experts and with comments our listeners submitted about their experience with virtual education.
Every public high school student in the state of Florida is required to take at least one course that primarily involves online learning in order to graduate. But some parents, teachers and other critics say it's not a good fit for every student.
Joining us to discuss the issue:
Jodi Marshall, PhD: President and CEO of Florida Virtual School
JoAnne Glenn: Principal of Pasco eSchool
Adam LaMee: Teacher-in-Residence for the University of Central Florida’s Physics department and President of the American Association of Physics Teachers’ Florida chapter
Carol Crawford, PhD: Director of Club Z! In-Home Tutoring Services for Greater Tampa
Special thanks to all our listeners who shared their feedback with us both on and off the air.
