What is online high school?

http://www.KaplanOnlineSchools.com - Welcome to Kaplan Virtual Education? So, what is online high school anyway? Fundamentally, online learning is using technology, specifically computer technology and the internet more broadly, to connect teachers and students who may not be physically in the same room. But its using technology to facilitate the learning process rather than replace any particular part of the learning process.
One to one instruction - There's a lot of IMing going on. If a student needs a particular kind of help, a teacher will pick up a phone and call or they may do a white board exercise. So the day goes on like that with many, many interactions of varied kinds.
Personalized Learning - There are also these things called gizmos in the science classes and there are labs online so it's great. The system is really easy to use and understand so that wouldn't be a problem for anybody. When I'm doing my studies they give me icons of technology, where I can listen and watch videos that will help me do my assignment and get better grades on them.

@MEANCRACKEN2

Nope. You actually have friends in normal school. :)

@UzisBeforeJacuzzis not at all. Many have regular "in person" meet ups and field trips. I've met so many friends through it.

@ayame127 thanks for the reply. and one more small question. Does online school have "breaks" like spring break and summer break? or is it ALL year round

[UzisBeforeJacuzzis]

online high school = no/very few friends + not very good preperation for "real world"

[SkylerX16]
