In this interview, she notes that online teachers must keep up with a rigorous pace of instruction and use digital tools such as Skype to check for understanding regularly. Certain students such as those who are older or are more self-sufficient are probably better-suited for online learning as well, Cottrell suggests. http://www.mathetude.com:80/story/view/12388.html http://www.mathetude.com:80/story/view/12388.html Mathetude nitajo 30/04/2011 Online learning is on the rise among students in K-12 schools. http://www.mathetude.com:80/story/view/10930.html http://www.mathetude.com:80/story/view/10930.html Mathetude Buldog 21/09/2010 From a bedroom in the San Francisco Bay area, Salman Khan is using the Web to teach math and science to millions.

In low-income neighborhoods, the dropout rate is closer to 50 percent, which experts blame in part on large, impersonal, rule-bound schools that don't adjust well to individual needs and peculiarities. Online courses offer a more flexible approach. Many Washington area schools are adding them to their anti-dropout campaigns. http://www.mathetude.com:80/story/view/2993.html http://www.mathetude.com:80/story/view/2993.html Mathetude Sculb 03/03/2008
