Teachers and administrators of schools from all over the world are in attendance at this years iNACOL Virtual School Symposium. It was quite challenging to pick and choose from so many different presentations, but there were some that definitely caught my interest.

Helene - we are in our 5th year with Oregon Connections Academy (one of CA's largest schools). I can honestly say that each year has brought improvements to the system. CA is VERY attuned to parent/student input - so let them know exactly what does and doesn't work. You can give feedback on each and every lesson. The system may not be perfect (yet... See More), but where else can you get up to the minute status on your student's progress, read every single lesson they do, get an answer from the teacher within 24 hours, etc. It is a new form of schooling and is constantly improving based on feedback - so let 'em know what you're thinking! That's one of the beauties of virtual schooling - it can respond much more quickly than B&M school.
