Some districts are adapting online courses so they can be accessed by smartphones. States are also making sure students have choices in how they use virtual education. Several states—including Florida, New Mexico, and Utah— have passed recent legislation requiring that districts allow students to choose their own online learning providers, whether that means state-run online schools, virtual charters, or private providers. This webinar provides useful tips for school administrators and K-12 policymakers on how to navigate this choice-filled world of virtual options. www.digitaldirections.org/go/webinar/ELearningChoice | NETWORKING | DD on LinkedIn >> Join top educational technology leaders from around the country to share professional tips and educational best practices in this exclusive, invitation-only group. www.digitaldirections.org/go/linkedin | UPDATES | DD on Twitter >> Sign up for our Twitter updates on ed-tech news and events. twitter.com/digidirections www.digitaldirections.org/go/edtechresearcher Tell the editor what you think about articles in this issue and what topics should be covered in future issues of the magazine. kbushweller@epe.org Sign up Digital Dir for ections e-new to receive sletters updates o twice-monthly n is shapin how technology g K-12 ed ucation. www.edwe ek .org/go / newslette rs  http://www.digitaldirections.org http://www.digitaldirections.org/go/techvideos http://www.digitaldirections.org/go/webinar/ELearningChoice http://www.digitaldirections.org/go/leadership-video http://www.digitaldirections.org/go/linkedin http://www.digitaldirections.org/go/digitaled http://www.twitter.com/digidirections http://www.digitaldirections.org/go/edtechresearcher http://www.edweek.org/go/
