In New Hampshire, teachers use a variety of models for teaching online, from posting daily homework assignments to posting their entire course content online, and everything between. This page will connect you with resources and standards used by teachers to deliver quality instruction and materials online.

As more and more schools and districts move their content online, teaching online will be a greater part of the expectations for teachers.  Districts and teachers will have to develop their own philosophy for distance learning and online education within their individual districts.
