“The program epitomizes one of our district’s philosophies; differentiated instruction. Students enter the program on a rolling basis throughout the school year, so at any given time, most of them are working in different places and at different levels of the curriculum. This necessitates teaching them one-on-one and assures that no lesson or day is ever the same for me. It also allows me to get to know my students’ needs and personalities much better and more quickly than in a traditional classroom setting. Because of the program’s technological components, we can easily vary the pace of the curriculum at any time for any student to meet their changing needs and circumstances. As a teacher, I can access students’ completed lesson 24/7 to grade. And the technology documents when lessons were assigned and completed with an electronic stamp.”

Moreover, as technology continues to expand our horizons, districts will come to terms with the reality that eLearning will become an integrated part of students’ education opportunities. eLearning removes the walls of the classroom and opens up many new educational possibilities. Many schools have recognized this and have implemented eLearning programs. While eLearning does bring new possibilities, it also brings with it new responsibilities. The Internet is full of thousands of websites that routinely commit copyright infringement. Unfortunately, eLearning websites are no exception.
