    Folks,

    We have considered online teaching and learning for years at Information
    Services, focusing on just the things that Mark mentions: its strengths,
    limitations, and future. Accessibility to our staff and the resources to
    commit to quality teaching and learning have also been at the heart of the
    conversations.

    As Professional Development, Curriculum & Instruction, Information Services,
    and Instructional Technology prepare for the move to the new Professional
    Learning Center this fall, we are looking at the ways we can provide
    accessible, usable, desired, and beneficial training. I'm happy to say that
    with the soon-to-be-completed District network, Distance Learning is now a
    viable method for teaching and learning within the District.

    More information about this topic and notable happenings with the
    Professional Learning Center will be available eventually on
    inside.seattleschools.org, probably in the form of a FAQ page. I will post
    the addition of this page to Tic-Tech when it becomes available.

    Hi All,
    There has been a wonderful dialogue the past few days on the discussion list
    "wwwedu" about online education - its strengths, limitations, future, etc.
    Made me wonder about what classes the ssd is offering online for staff. A
    quick look around the web sites turned up no online classes. Am wondering
    when we can expect some - or if I just missed seeing them? Thanks - Mark
