Melnyk Oksana Wide Popularity of Virtual Schools
The 20th century saw the emergence of additional alternatives to what may be called “bricks-and-mortar” schools. These were forms of distance education where children could learn without attending classes on a regular basis.
Virtual schools can be seen as a variant of distance education. The emerged in the closing years of the 20th century, and can be understood as a form of schooling that uses on-line computers to provide some or all of a student’s education. Typically, spatial and temporal distancing is employed, and this results in students being able to use their computers at a convenient time in their homes or elsewhere, rather than being subject to meeting at an agreed time in a school building.
Asynchronous technology is often used for virtual schools. This has the advantage that students are able to interact with web sites and send and receive e-mails when it is convenient for them. It is also possible to use synchronous technologies, such as electronic chat and desktop video conferencing, but these are sometimes seen as less attractive because the timetabling involved reduces flexibility.
These schools are particularly valuable for students who live in remote areas, for those whose parents are frequently on the move, for students who are too ill to attend school, or for those who have been excluded.
Virtual schools become more and more popular in the United States of America and in Canada. The expected increase in the number and type of virtual schools is likely to provide both exciting and daunting challenges. Changes in technology and society will continue to shape the nature of virtual schools, and it is likely that continued interest in the alternative that they provide traditional education will help to match them more closely with students’ needs. Virtual schools have both advantages and disadvantages, but the radical nature of the alternative that they offer may yet lead to reconsideration of the nature of school education. From this perspective, virtual schools are indeed valuable.

Two-four-altogether. This technology is used for discussing any burning issues from different points of view in order to develop the ability to provide arguments for the chosen position.
Microphone. It gives each student in the class to say something quickly, taking turns, either as an answer to a question or expressing their point of view.
Brainstorming. It is an effective method for collective discussion or search for information that encourages the participants to use their creativity by means of open expression of their thoughts.
Scroll saw. This technology helps students cooperate in order to process a big quantity of information within a short period of time.
