If you have noticed that I have not posted around lately, that would be because I am finishing up the second edition of my Complete Guide to Online High Schools. Should be done in about a week and I will let you all know when that momentous occasion happens.

Some interesting changes in the book this time around, mostly due to the larger number of online high schools. I truly look forward to it being done. One distinct advantage this time around is that I have done it the right way. Each and every school is now in a Microsoft Access database. This will make keeping track of all of them that much easier.

Soon.

Yes, you’re right. It is impossible to determine which is the best online high school. That being said, I expound on the issue over at my blog on BestOnlineHighSchools.com

I am hip-deep in an amazingly secret, but more than a little interesting, web project that will greatly increase the web presence for online high schools as we now know them. It is so very secret that I can’t even tell you all (even though I know you wouldn’t rush out and tell others). Yes, it is that secret.

That being said, I am hopeful to be able to show you by next weekend what Stage 1 of ASWP (Amazingly Secret Web Project) actually looks like. How many stages are there? Probably nine. Or 59. Depends on how you break it all down.

I am excited to show you the beginnings, so I hope you will come back and take a look.

While there is still some minor work being done, for the most part, Virtual School News is up and running again. It will be offering significantly more news about online schools and related subjects. I hope you will take a look at VSN 2.0.

You may recall that I mentioned a super-secret surprise? It is mostly completed, so you get to be among the first to see it. It is a brand-new website that pulls in RSS feeds about online high schools, online colleges, and educational technology.

The name? Online Synthesis.

I hope that you will consider taking a look. I am quite pleased with how it has turned out. Since these seem to be the three areas that I do a great deal of reading — online high schools, online colleges, ed tech — I decided that there are likely other folks out there just like me. Scary thought!
