I recently came across the iLearn Project. The iLearn Project , based in Washington, equips families, educators, and school leaders with information about 21st century digital learning to spur innovation.  As a part of their Summer of Success: True Stories of Lives Changed by Digital Learning series, they offer videos highlighting the many different faces of online and blended learning, and share the many different reasons families choose this educational path. 

Below is a video of Breon Johnson, a bright and energetic student who was having a very hard time learning.

Breon struggles with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and was having to endure the effects of racism and discrimination since he began elementary school.  A school counselor suggested that his family look into online schooling as a way to help Breon flourish.

After one year, with the support and guidance from his teacher, along with the flexibility and structure that online schooling can provide, Breon is now an honor roll student! 

If you are looking into online and blended learning options, watch this collection of videos to meet the many people who have found success and had their lives changed by online learning.
