Melinda Maddox
Learn about a model of education delivery that engages students, personalizes their learning, and brings in real-world problems to be solved with 21st century skills resulting in true school reform.  Recommendations for preparing for the future rapid expansion of Distance Learning (eLearning, Online Learning) will be discussed.

Some of the specific topics to be covered:

  • Gaining support for your distance learning program
  • Immersing distance learning delivery methods into traditional instruction
  • Personalize the instructional process for the student
  • Planning web-based course content development for sustainability and cost-effectiveness
  • Funding models

What does this do for the local school and community?  It allows the school to not only offer a basic education, but to move beyond to offer a world class education.  This, in turn, stimulates economic development for the community by providing a work force prepared for 21st century jobs and a school system that is ready to support the ever growing diversity of the population.
