3 ARTICLES ABOUT ONLINE LEARNING IN K-12

For the assignment this week in Technology in Education we are required to read 3 scholar or peer reviewed articles about K-12 online learning and then discuss one of them. The three I chose were, "Keeping Pace With K-12 Online Learning" (Watson, 2005), "The Landscape of K-12 Online Learning: What is known" (Barbour, 2018), and "Offering Preservice Teachers Field Experiences in K-12 Online Learning: A National Survey of Teacher Education Programs" (Kennedy & Archambault, 2012). The article I am going to focus on is the later. This article talks about the new need for teaching teachers how to use online education for their students. Currently, "Data show that only 1.3% of responding teacher education programs are addressing this need via field experiences in virtual schools" (Kennedy & Archambault, 2012). The need is not being met to keep up with technology in education. I am glad my college, Regent University, is on top of this trend and teaching us what we need to stay current as teacher.
