The appearance of Georgia schools is changing. No longer are all Georgia students heading off to school each morning on the traditional yellow school bus. Some students are heading to the Inter-net via smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop.
This is not the only change taking place around the state of Georgia. Georgia citizens made a historical decision on November 6, 2012. The state’s voters ratified an amendment to the Georgia Constitution in favor of charter schools. Local school districts no longer hold the power; a state commission will now approve these institutions.
Couple the virtual concept with a charter school and the new product on the market in Georgia is virtual charter schools. Brick and mortar move over; cyber city is virtually here.
