This tidbit about electronic yearbooks is from eSchool News, which will require you to register with your e-mail address. (Not that I can condone this kind of behavior, but some people use BugMeNot.com to get into these kinds of resources.)

Reading about how kids are creating electronic yearbooks for their face-to-face schools has got me wondering what kind of role extracurricular activities might play in an online school. Would a yearbook be in order for the LEARN NC classes? Would students be as interested in the communal aspects of their “virtual” high school as they are in their face-to-face school?

It’s an interesting thought– someday, distance learning teachers may organize/facilitate distance learning extracurricular activities, like a chess club, yearbook, or film club. Would parents be as supportive of those activities?
