Anyone using virtual classrooms? Anyone recommend any sites? There’s a wide variety of subjects to access. Languages are very popular. Some virtual classroom sites are free.

EEEE! I looked at the video you linked to and it looked great, so I looked up the requirements (since it is Florida and I am in Canada)… turns out that it is $375 per semester for instate students, and the Chinese 1 and Chinese 2 are each two-semester classes. And then it is $25 more per semester for out of state and international… so $400 per semester, means $800 US for each Chinese 1 and Chinese 2 on that site. $1600 in total. I suppose it gives one university credits, but I don’t know if they are transferable anyways.

Anyways, that was the video for Chinese 2 (you need Chinese 1 as a prerequisite). Here is Chinese 1 http://breeze.flvs.net:9090/p57308815/ video, and Chinese 1 course description:

Thanks, but it is too expensive for us.

On the other hand, I was pointed out this site for learning Chinese, that is an online roleplay gaming sort of thing: http://enterzon.com/

I haven’t tried it out yet, and it is too advanced for my 4 yr old. It is University of Michigan and HanBan together.

Yes. I live in Florida and my 13 year old is taking keyboarding through florida virtual school and loves it… We are lucky because it is free and she is not in public school. I also use time 4 learning with my 6 year old who I just started homeschooling… We do use other curriculum besides the computer :slight_smile:
