Distance Education

Distance education is a growing option for students that allows them to complete high school courses online. One of the pros for distance education is that it can be made to fit a specific student's learning style and level. Distance education can also help students become proficient with computers and technology. This option can provide an opportunity to learn for students who find it hard to learn in classrooms with other students. Distance education can also be helpful for students who have social disabilities or are being bullied. Distance education can also lead to better parent involvment.
Distance education also has some cons. It can potentially be easy to cheat when all the school work is done online. Having students take online courses neglects to provide them with the social atmosphere that a regular classroom does. Distance education can also be difficult for students who struggle with technology. Students also don't learn many of the skills that they would in a regular classroom, such as teamworking and debate.
You would have to be careful when selecting students for a program like this. You would need to be sure that they have the technical skills required plus plenty of parent support. To teach in one of these classes you must not only have computer skills but also be creative enough to challenge these students with online assignments.
