Changes in attitudes towards online schools

Reviewing your previous blog posts, what, if anything, has changed in your attitude toward online schools and online schooling over the past 15 weeks?

Going into this course, I did not have too many preconceived notions about online leaning for K-12.  I can't say my attitude towards online schooling has changed too much, but I was surprised or at least intrigued by the following:

That online learning is so prevalant is some places (especially FL) while not being as common place in other geographic reasons.

The role of for profit institutions regarding online learning

The need for research and/or modifications to make K-12 online learning effective. 

I think there is a lot of thinking/planning that needs to go into finding a blended role to introduce online learning to a new generation.  This is a very interesting topic that I want to pay close attention to as an educator.
