Free from the walls of a traditional classroom, kids enrolled in Nebraska’s first K-8 virtual school could have access to 3-D printers and a full menu of educational videos to peruse at their own pace. They could video-chat with a marine biologist in Hawaii or learn coding through the popular Minecraft game. The only catch? These innovative online classes will be available only to home-schooled students during a coming pilot program. The Omaha Public Schools are trying to get its virtual school concept off the ground this fall by targeting an unusual population for a public school system: home-schoolers.
