Summary of one article

Title of article: Mapping the Terrain

Out of each and every United States of America, all 50 of them offer online
virtual learning for education. These online educations range from Kindergarten all
of the way up to twelfth grade. The program offers students the opportunity to
attend school virtually in order to lawfully graduate like the typical public schooling
student. The virtual and blended learning experiences are funded by the
government and regulated for the students in all states; however, they lack specific
areas that one may have access to in public schooling. Majority of the Educational
Leadership programs do not help out the administration when it comes to their
teachings. After a survey was administered, it was found that steps needed to be
made in order to continue to lead these virtual experiences in a well-rounded and
effective manner.
