CTAP Region 6

As an outgrowth of the Online Learning Summit last June and the increased interest in implementing online learning by school districts, the Stanislaus County Office of Education is implementing the 2011-2012 Online Learning Network.

The purpose of this network is to increase the knowledge of every school district administrator and teacher about online learning. The book, Disrupting Class predicts that by 2019, every high school student will be taking 50% of their courses online. Whether this prediction will come true or not, it is important for all schools at every grade level to learn how online learning may be implemented at various levels. The Online Learning Network will first conduct a district needs assessment regarding online learning and will then bring together representatives from every school district to define how to best implement this network using both face-to-face and online resources.

Please be sure to have completed the Online Learning Network Needs Assessment Survey prior to registering.  If you have not already received this survey via email, please contact our office (209) 238-1450 or email Lisa Powell This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

CTAP Region 6 is announcing an Online Teacher Certification Course from the Leading Edge Alliance, a partnership of the leading educational technology organizations in California. The goal of Leading Edge Certification is to help each participant become a more effective online instructor and to provide a learning context that interests, excites, and challenges participants to explore effective teaching practices.

Online education can provide the opportunity for students and professional learners to communicate and demonstrate mastery in ways that would be challenging in the traditional setting. Aligning effective pedagogy with engaging curriculum and a variety of online learning tools offers an empowering alternative for tomorrow's leaders. Preparing teachers for that opportunity is the goal of the Leading Edge Certification (LEC) course.
