=Team 6: Virtual Teachers=

Meeting Date: 12/4/2011

Inquiry Question: Are virtual schools and online learning good for gifted/talented learners?

Rationale: As more school districts, including ours, moves to giving students the option of online courses, we feel as educators we need to be able to provide information about the effectiveness of these programs.

__Inquiry Questions__ What is the profile of a student would benefit most from online learning? What are possible advantages/disadvantages of online learning models? What conditions need to be present in order for online learning to be effective? Why are adults drawn to online courses? Do they feel the classes are as effective as a traditional (face-to-face) class?
