Research into K-12 Online Learning Blogging Activity 2

2. Given your specific interest in K-12 virtual schooling research, where questions are left unanswered? Why is that question (or those questions) important?

     I am interested in research for elementary students, because I am the media specialist at a K-5 school.  There is a good bit of research for higher education and high school.  There is not so much for middle school and minimal to none for the elementary level.  Will it work for most elementary students?  Will it work most of the time?  Will it work for students with special needs?  Will it work in most situations?  Will we have the funding for online education?  Will the role of teachers change?  Will my role as a media specialist change? 
     I have thoughts on each of these questions but no real answers.  I use the word “most” instead of “all”, because we know that nothing really works for everyone.  I have more questions than answers on the topic of online learning for elementary students.  These are all questions that are important to me as someone interested in online learning.  I am currently taking a course on distance education because it is of interest to me.  It is our future in one way or another.  I just need the answer to the questions to know the direction.
