About the Book

As online learning continues to become more prominent in K-12 education, it will be important that teachers are knowledgeable about both the potential of online learning and the challenges associated with moving curricula online. This book, written by a former secondary online teacher who now teaches online instructional methods to practicing K-12 teachers, addresses those challenges and offers practical, research-based approaches to creating successful online learning experiences. Both novice and experienced K-12 teachers will benefit from the author’s strategies for creating engaging, learner-centered instruction in an online format. This book is unique from other practitioner-oriented books on online learning in that it focuses exclusively on adolescents’ experiences with online instruction.

Review :
Wayne Journell's book presents an interesting and unique look at K-12 online learning and virtual schooling. This book provides a outline for those interested in creating an online program, designing an online course, and/or teaching online. Unlike other texts on the market, Journell goes beyond the practitioner's personal experiences of "This is how we did it"' or focusing primarily upon research based on adult populations. This book provides a research-based outline for K-12 online learning practitioners, specifically from research into K-12 online learning. This is a vivid and fresh look at the state of online learning in the secondary school and its potential. Journell enlightens the reader while recognizing the challenges facing those who move into creating and maintaining high quality and engaging online learning. Some common assumptions are convincingly debunked in detail-rich chapters. In this practical guide, Journell combines his practitioner-based foundation with his intricate look at the pedagogy behind preparing and designing for online learning in secondary education. A self-proclaimed realist, he tackles the challenges of online teaching and celebrates the triumphs that can occur when it is done well.
