District 287 Online Services
State of the Union
Currently the Online Learning movement in public education in Minnesota is a fledgling educational endeavor. With that in mind, a large part of the goal of our Online Services is to raise awareness of both the potential of and need for investments in Online Learning throughout Minnesota. To this end, District 287 has created the following promotional video, focusing on a call to action in Online Learning. We feel this video helps showcase the energy and growth that currently exists in the online learning sphere.
The litmus test of Online Learning is the degree to which it helps students learn.
Our area of operation covers a wide geographic range and permeates a large number of district services.

We believe that technology offers a way to bring people together in an interactive learning environment that ultimately has the potential to greatly improve the educational experience. In many ways, we feel that we're part of the movement that is "Looking for the Mouse." So as Clay Shirky states so well, when people ask us, "What are you really doing?" we like to point to this video and say that we spend as much time as possible looking for ways to put the mouse in our students' educational experiences.
