Sarah Wellman replied to Diana Hansen's discussion Online textbook rental services see a boom in usage in 2010"As an administrator for a community college online learning program I really like the idea of digital text book rentals.

Sherry Christiansen replied to Diana Hansen's discussion Are Virtual Academies Better Than Traditional Public Schools?"There are pro and cons to both. If students are to go the virtual school route I do believe parents need should have their child into sports, girl/boy scouts, clubs etc. in order for them to work on their social skills. "
