With back-to-school season in full swing, this school year's increase in virtual education programs is noticeable almost nationwide. Currently, 40 states offer or sanction some type of online education for their students, with other states considering proposals ever legislation session. As we look forward to closing achievement gaps in the years ahead, virtual education advocates are calling online learning a solution for students and teachers alike.

This Sunday is the ten year anniversary of the terrorist attacks that changed our country forever. In light of this milestone, many education experts have raised the question about how to address this tragedy and our ongoing wars with students, especially with those students who have no memory of the day. While there are no national or state guidelines for teaching this recent and still emotional part of our history, many teachers are, for the most part, on their own as they decide how to explain and teach these events to a broad range of students. If you are planning discussing the attacks with your students, there are some fantastic resources for reading, sharing and contributing.

Let's see if following anecdote takes you on a walk down memory lane:
"I was watching my sister-in-law struggle to write a paper. She wasn't struggling with what to say, but with the physical process of writing. She was sitting at the kitchen counter trying to type a passage into her laptop, her elbow shakily propping open the book from which she was quoting. She was forced to look back and forth from the book to the screen; she'd lose her place; the book would slip and close; the whole thing was terribly awkward. I thought, 'There's really gotta be a better way to do that.' "

As we energize a new set of students to tackle curriculum for their betterment, I hope we will do the same for ourselves as educators. And, in true form, I suggest Twitter as the curriculum that we should tackle.
