I am contemplating putting together a service for homeschooled children in the middle grades, and I am looking for input.
The service would be live online math classes for 5th grade through High School Geometry students. Students would be a part of a "web meeting" or "web conference" and would participate in a real-time, virtual classroom. I, as the teacher, would present material and guide students through a traditional math curriculum. The virtual classroom would function similarly to a normal classroom, but without many of the negatives. Students would be able to see and hear me present material on their home computer via a high quality web cam, be able to ask and answer questions, as well as work with other students. All of this could happen w/o leaving home.
The classes would be held 4-5 days each week and would be about 1 hr. long. Cost would be about $50/month for a 10 month school year.
Thanks for your input.
