"This year my school district is starting an online school. I wonder what work has been done with regard to cost analysis? In addition the district implemented Moodle a few years ago, but no one uses it and support for widespread use is little if any. I have an email in to the tech coordinator to discuss some of the topics that I am learning regarding virtual learning environments. I will update my blog with our conversation and his response."

My Comments:
It is exciting to hear that you school district is starting an online school. I am interested in knowing what is the school all about? Will it be a virtual school or a physical school were students go to and work online throughout their academic disciplines? This past summer, I have had the opportunity to work with the New English Learners and the Pearsonellis.com. Where students were able to work through he digital learning environment within class and have the ability to log on to the site at home, after the class time was over.
I am not familiar with Moodle. I read your response to Moodle as a usual implementation of technology whereas the expectations are high and the support and / or professional development of the technology is low. This causes educators to feel the need to be left in the dark with new technologies as the professional development is not implemented well and then the initiative becomes a lackluster, uncomfortable approach to technology.
