Please share your public high school experiences using distance learning to teach math/science.

Please provide links to credible sites particularly state supported distance learning programs if you have them.

is the only one I've worked with in Ohio for Middle Childhood. The curriculum is decent & the technology is stable.

The only distance learning experiences I have are for college.

One course whose syllabus is downloaded online, readings done online, a test taken online and an essay emailed to the "instructor," who doesn't instruct. It gets the 1 unit needed in "civil rights knowledge," which basically means learning about laws and regs regarding anyone with an IEP, a 504 plan, the gifted, and some reminders about cultural sensitivity, race, gender, and sexual orientation issues.

About 9-10 years ago, I took a couple of distance learning courses that were quite a bit different, and really comprehensive. I was working on a masters in library science, and my library media teacher's credential in CA. I didn't finish it; I got divorced and couldn't afford the tuition any more.

Anyway, there aren't that many universities accredited to offer MLIS degrees. UCLA is, but distance and cost were both too much.

San Jose SU does. They joined up with Fullerton to offer courses that met on Saturdays. Half the students met at SJ, half at Fullerton. There was one professor, and he took turns showing up in person, every other Saturday. We held class in a room that had distance video; when he wasn't there, we were watching him in SJ on the big screen. We could interact with him, as well. When he was with us, SJ did the same.

All of his assignments were done online. At that time, he had a "blackboard" class set up. We had to read all the articles he posted, and respond on the "chat" sections several times a week. The rest of the assignments he gave, and some were quite complex and lengthy, all had to be submitted to him through email. A lot of his assignments required us to use various "up and coming" technologies (at the time,) since we were going to have to be able to manage information in all the formats available.

The 2 courses I took with him were the most challenging I've ever taken; I really enjoyed them.

That doesn't really help you with current high school distance learning.

My high school math teacher, Mr. Reck (and yes, he was a wreck,) taught with the lights off, using an overhead projector, a projector pen, and a coffee cup that smelled suspiciously of whiskey. I had Geometry 1st period, at 7:10 AM.

Possibly why I chose to take the fewest number of math courses (1) to graduate. And then had to take "catch up" classes in college.
