The use of elearning is rapidly rising in P-20 classrooms. At this point, it’s no longer a question of whether teachers should embrace elearning. The question should be how do we make the most out of this trend. According to the International Association for K-12 Online Learning, there are nearly 1.9 million K-12 enrollments in online courses every school year, up from under 50,000 in 2000. The current number does not even include students enrolled in primarily online schools. Thirty-one states have full-time online K-12 schools that serve on a statewide basis.
Elearning is no longer all or nothing—it has become mainstream and will continue to transform in-classroom learning in the coming years. To help teachers adapt, we decided to create a list of 30 of the most incredible elearning tools, apps, and platforms. This should get them up to speed with elearning technologies in no time.
