Hello Everyone:
Currently, I run an online high school for Bend-La Pine Schools. This is our fourth year and it is growing like crazy! Year one and two we were under a grant as a charter school . These were pilot years for the program and we averaged about 40 students. Now, it is a district program and our enrollment last year was 450. Since starting I have added both a middle school and summer credit recovery program. It is an ongoing learning process to be certain.
Prior to earning my MA in Sec Ed, I was a corporate writer and instructional designer (in the writing department). Then, I went on to teach English Literature for several years in Vacaville, California. I had the opportunity to "teach" an online honors section on Fridays, this was my introduction to online learning. It is now my passion and career. I see everyday how we are able to serve our community, students and district by offering a quality online opportunity. I look forward to learning this term and furthering my skills.

A great beginning to distance education Leigha. You should bring good information and experience to this course from which we can all learn more about delivery content and support of student learning.

I agree with Dennis' comment Leigha. I also believe what you said that is is an ongoing learning process. My only experience with Kayaking is NH lakes and Point Reyes, California. Such a nice way to discover the features where land and water meet.
