THE SCHOOL OF THE FUTURE? VIRTUAL SCHOOL

Kelly Ryan lives in Kentucky in the USA and will start her new school year in August. She will not go
back to just school, but two. She goes to a virtual high school as well as an ordinary high school. Kelly wants
to study history of art, but her local high school doesn’t teach it. So she is taking it on the Internet.
Kentucky is one of two states in America, at the moment that offers virtual high school classes to all
their students – the other is Florida. This is just the beginning. Virtual schools and universities are being
started up all over the world. Some education experts think that in 20 years’ time, there’ll be no more real
classrooms – only virtual ones.
So how does virtual school work? When Kelly gets home from her regular school, she logs on to the
Internet on the family computer. On the home page of her course web site she reads any messages from
her teacher and other students. On the “What’s new page” the teacher explains what the next piece of
work is and where to find out about the subject on the Internet. Each student has a virtual course book.
Kelly does her work here and only she and her teacher can look at it. She uses e-mail to talk to other
students on the course (no more than 25) and her teacher. There is a page where the teacher outs video
clips, pieces of text to read and pictures to look at. Any extra materials such as books are sent through the
post to Kelly’s home.
What does Kelly think? “I love it,” she says. “I can log on when I want to. And I like Internet
discussions better than face-to-face discussions in the classroom. Everybody thinks more carefully before
they answer questions – they don’t just say the first thing that comes into their mind.” However, she
wouldn’t want to go to virtual school full time. She wants to see her friends and teachers as well as talk to
them.
Kelly’s virtual teacher likes it too. ‘I can concentrate on the teaching part of my job,’ he says. ‘I
don’t have to worry about what’s happening at the back of the class.’ What would he miss if he taught on
the Internet full time? ‘When a student understands something for the first time, their face lights up. I
would miss that. You can’t see that on the screen.’
