Brian Bridges is director of the California Learning Resource Network (CLRN), a group that provides resources to help California educators with digital education resources. He is also a member of the Computer-Using Educators (CUE) board of directors.
In a recent post on his blog, Bridges spotlighted legislation now in the California legislature that would help increase the number of online education opportunities for the state's students.
AB 802 would allow school districts to "capture" state money for students who take online courses sponsored by that district.
Bridges also writes about SB 613, which would encourage school districts to use open source textbooks.
Finally, SB 532 would mandate that all high schools students have access Advanced Placement courses. The logical way to meet this mandate would be through online courses.
While Bridges likes parts of SB 532, he has suggestions on how to improve the legislation to make it more virtual education friendly.
