Virtual School is Going to Take a Jump in Enrollment

I'm sitting here at GaETC 2009 listening to Michael Horn, coauthor of Disrupting Class: How Disruptive Innovation Will Change the Way the World Learns, is projecting online learning will take a jump among high school students.

We are looking at the non-consumption markets in education. Examples would include the following:

• credit recovery
• drop-outs
• AP
• scheduling conflicts
• home-schooled and homebound students
• small, rural and urban schools
• unit recovery
• disaster preparedness
• tutoring
• professional development
• Pre-K
• after school
• incarcerated youth
• in-school suspension
• school bus commute
• summer school

These markets will bring forth the value of technology in education.
