Description

Book Synopsis
Online learning is transforming how and what teachers teach, and even who - or what - teachers are. In the midst of these changes, the characteristics that have historically defined a high-quality education are easily lost. Not only content knowledge, but also ways of thinking are the hallmarks of the well-educated individual, and these latter qualities are not so easily acquired online. Or are they? This volume shows how a group of online-learning believers built the best high school in the world without laying a single brick: the Stanford Online High School (SOHS). By chronicling SOHS' approach to curriculum, gifted education, and school community over SOHS' first seven years, Bricks and Mortar makes the case that technology and the best traditional methodologies in education are not, in fact, mutually exclusive.
