“Yikes! I feel for Ms. Gerald,” wrote one teacher in an online learning course of her principal, “being at work until 10:30 pm. On top of working, we all have our home lives too!” This comment was in the midst of an active online learning course where participants were online as late as midnight participating in the conversation, or up as early as 5:00 AM. Did they have to do this? No. They were engaged, excited about discovering each other online.

The campus principal who learns online with her staff sends a powerful message about the value of online learning environments and their use in schools.
