If you have been wondering where I have been of late, I have been putting in great amounts of time on the day job. Most of you know that I coordinate online learning for a large urban school district. Well, my efforts over the last year are finally getting some traction. We begin to offer courses on Monday and today was a training day. For the most part, that went well. Many engaged teachers wanting to try something new and also support students in their efforts. We are offering courses initially in only two content areas because we want to get this right. I am pleased on so many levels. Yes, there is a hiccup or two that I must deal with this week, but there always is in such things.
Another bit of time this past week has been a super-secret project that should become less secret by the end of the week. Busy, busy, busy…

I do get that if you look for online high schools on the Internet that it is entirely possible that you will eventually work yourself to me. I do have that online high schools site that so many seem to come to as well as other sites.
That being said, this site even took me aback. It is a site with an article I wrote for EzineArticles.com as a way to market my websites and such. The person who developed this site is certainly within their rights to use the article. They included my bio statement as well as a link back to EzineArticles. Those seem to be the primary rules.
That being said, it sure looks like it is my site. If you click across the top, the same article pops up again and again with the same bio statement. Actually, not one of my better ones, but not awful. Not the one I would have chosen for that site. Also, really, the same article on every page? Really?
No idea who is behind the site. Probably, like many of these sites, just another faceless entity.

I have a new article on K-12 online learning up over at Associated Content. Earn your high school diploma online is a good, general introduction to the topic. Worth a read if you are just taking a first look at the subject.
