Virtual School Symposium Overlay - Officially Public

[Michael Barbour]

Not that it was being kept a secret or anything, but we (I) did need some time to get things set-up with the presenters and such. Anyway, it has now been posted to the official Virtual School Symposium website (which is http://www.virtualschoolsymposium.org/). You can specifically view information about the Overlay here:

For your convenience, I have copied and pasted the information below.

I'm not sure what your question is. The Virtual School Symposium is focused on K-12 online learning, so the folks who would be in attendance aren't college people and they don't grant advanced degrees. If you're like to re-frame or re-phrase your question, I'd be happy to try and address it.

I know college is a business (even public schools) but is there any solution? How can we get more financial assistance to those in the middle and those wishing to get advanced degrees?
