Distance Learning
|
Distance learning occurs when the process of teaching and learning is
separated by distance and/or time, and brought together by the dissemination of
information through electronic technology.
BISD’s Distance Learning Program exists to empower students to
develop a thirst for knowledge beyond the traditional school setting.
Goals of the program are to:
 |
Expand Curriculum by developing and delivering expanded BISD curricula offerings,
basic training modules for network usage, technical support, and staff development. |
|
Streamline Staff Development
by utilizing the distance learning network to
deliver curricula and technical support video training modules plus cable and satellite
delivered professional development programs. |
|
Build Business and Community Partnerships by creating an educational public
access channel with the capability of delivering programming to the community through an
agreement with the City of Clute and Time Warner Communications. |
The new distance learning network and its capabilities to reach throughout the district
and the community is already beginning to change the mindsets of many. The students in the
distance learning courses, educators involved in the development and delivery of the
distance learning courses, as well as those who have visited the sites, are excited about
the future possibilities of our video network.
