How dose online homeschool work?

Question

please show source is possible:)

Answer 1

In one example I saw you had to drag switches and lights over to make a multiple branching series circuit in electrity.

If you got it wrong it was like on TV, you got buzzed.

One would expect they keep track of this at the computer center based on your LOG IN.

It's about how many tries it takes you to succeed.

I do remind you it took the late John Kennedy Jr. 12 tries to pass the Bar and get his law license.

And he went to Harvard Law school!

This is a fact that everyone needs to understand

Your family doctor may have had to take the Medical Board test 5 or 10 times.

There is no law that says 3 strikes you're out.

THe guy spend 8 years in college rakeed up $500,000 in student loans.

THey WILL not let him practise solo until he passes the test and they will make him wait 6-12 months before he can take it again, but he is allowed to keep doing this til he passes

Oh he does ahve to pay $200 for each test

AND the public is never told this.

There is NO law that says they have to disclose how many tries it took to pass the Medical test.

Answer 2

I do my math with an online curriculum, but usually when you do online school that means your just doing school on your computer, not really homeschooling. I would say homeschooling means you, books, and your Mom are the teachers.

Answer 3

I went to online HIGH SCHOOL.

Do not go through anything you have to pay for on the internet. these schools are not government paid for and you will loose your money and credits if they decide to shut down.

Contact your schools district office and ask if they have an alternative education high school in the district (usually for bad kids) and then ask if they have home students who work online.

what happened with me is my school gave me a laptop computer to take home with a camera. i went into school once every two weeks and updated my homework. I worked on an online program called PLATO. when the semester was over, they took the computer back. i completed 3 years of school in one semester, got straight a's and scored excellents on my aims and sat tests. i sometimes think im smarter than my peers because i had to teach my self everything and actually learn the material.

its not distance learning unless your in college. these are a trial government test for public schools and its government funded. the gov. is funding it to find out how well students work with technology and if it is a better and more efficient way to educate

whats your county, i can get the number for the program for your area. [e-mail]

Answer 4

There is no such thing as 'online homeschool'.

'Homeschool' (or 'home education') is you (and possibly your mum) learning from materials and resources that you find for yourself.

If it happens online, it is a form of 'Distance Education'.

Answer 5

Whew! Trying to answer this question is about like answering what the ice cream tastes like at Baskin Robins. There is not just one flavor. There is a huge variety of flavors.

A quick sumary would go like this:

Daily experience 1: Read textbook, write out problems, scan them, send the file to the teacher's e-mail address for scoring and recording. You may have e-mail feedback. Sometimes these course will let you move at your own pace and sometimes the assignments are lock stepped to a schedule.

Daily experience 2: Log in to the online classroom. Read, listen, and complete mutimedia activities. You may have an assigned reading to do out of a supplied book. Do a hand-on activity such as a project, writing activity, or lab. Mom scores some of the activities and enters the data into the lesson's assessment section while some of the activities are computer scored. The online multimedia and your mom are the teachers. Though there is a conveinient schedule/lesson plan that updates automatically as you complete the assignments, you are free to go at your own pace and make choices as to what you do when.

Daily experience 3: At a specified time you log in to the online classroom where you will meet live with your teacher (perhaps a certfied teacher that is hired or perhaps a homeschool co-op mom who is teaching this course) and other homeschool students taking the course. You will listen to the instructure for a lecture that includes lots of visuals on screen and perhaps some interactives. There may be a webcam demonstration every now and then as well. You get to interact with other students and the teacher by using the full-duplex audio system or by using the built in classroom text chat system. Sometime students want to use the whiteboard to communicate ideas. Some students may stay after class for some social time. The students in the online classroom are from all over the US and Canada. If you have students close enough, you might get together for a fierldtrip, lab activity, project, or just to visit.

Get the idea bout how varied the online experience can be?

We have done online homeschooling both like daily experience 2 and daily experience 3. In the 3 version, I am a volunteer homeschool co-op teacher of chemistry, algebra I, and physics among other courses. I figured if I am teaching these subjects to my own homeschooled children, why not take a few others along using the online classroom.

Answer 6

well for me i get a login name and password to a school called sevenstaracademy.org

Then i go through and pick what classes i want/can take (based on grade, credits and parent agreement) there is a base fee and then about 200 per class (100 for the course and 100 for a corresponding teacher)

Then once i'm enrolled the systems works like this:

there is a pacing chart that the coarse teacher has set for you (it basically says that you have to be through lessons ____ by week ____ to finish the coarse in a year)

then there is a list of lessons you go through, as you click on the lesson you read through the information (sometimes this requires some extra web research or note taking)

then at the bottom it will either say "download work file and turn in answers in dropbox" or "go to discussion area post answers and respond to two classmates" or "take quiz assesment for this lesson" or "nothing to turn in for this lesson"

if its an assignment you have to download a word document that usually has a list of questions you have to answer (this can also be like a project) then you go to this link called "dropbox" download the file and a teacher for the coarse will grade the work

if its a discussion you go to a link called "discussions" answer the questions then post it. After this you go to the list of answers posted by other students taking this coarse click on one and respond to it (like i agree or this point isn't very clear etc.)

if it is a quiz you go to a link called quizes find your quiz and take it (these are usually locked and a parent or administrator has to unlock it for you so you cant cheat) the quizes are your standard quizes like in school except you take it on line

then at the end of a module (which is like an objective it usually consists of about 18-22 lessons and 5+ quizes theres usually about 4 modules per semester) you take a test, which is basically just like the quiz

also with this program there is hired teachers for each coarse. You will have a teacher assigned to you for each of your subjects who you can email back and forth with or talk to on the phone if you have problems or questions.

In some cases if your behind pace for more then two weeks they'll make the assingments you havn't turned in 0's but you can still turn in the assignment for full credit

thats about it

Answer 7

it teaches the same thing as a teacher
