Podcast: PBS: "To The Contrary/Behind the Headlines: Public Schools go Virtual with Online Classes"
Susan Patrick, President & CEO, NACOL on PBS Television's "To the Contrary" on October 26, 2007 The Virtual Classroom segment Podcast available (free): http://www.pbs.org/ttc/rss/media/redir/http://www-tc.pbs.org/ttc/rss/media/ttc_102607.mp3
Susan Patrick is quoted extensively. Note the entire 30 minute program is on the podcast and the Virtual Classroom segment starts just short of 2/3 the way through the audio clip (Minutes 18:22 - 21:38).
Pros and Cons: Lots of good information about online learning; the balance part at the end seemed a little off, some of the discussion was about home schooling, the people trying to do the debate clearly didn't know the subject well, overall a very positive piece for virtual schooling.
