I enjoy reading Will Richardson's blog http://willrichardson.com/post/12686013800/my-teacher-is-an-app and I found his response to this article http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204358004577030600066250144.html?KEYWORDS=My+Teacher+is+an+App passionate. Will has a passion for teaching and is flabbergasted over how online high school is starting to replace "traditional" highschool. For me, the number of students that are now taking alomost or full time online courses in the USA is shocking. This is happening, mainly, to save money. Many teachers are losing their jobs and students have 3 hours to take a quiz??? What about all the other things that students learn from high school, punctuality, repsonsibility, social interaction, peer work ect... Interesting article and response.
