16. The institutionalization of online learning is not about a system competing with the traditional K-12 schools. It also is not about disseminating new instructional technologies. It is essentially about educational improvement, school reform, and improving academic performance in America’s high schools. --Smith, Clark & Blomeyer

17. Who’s in? Who is eLearning in NYC? Which existing NYC partners are interested in exploring online opportunities? What opportunities exist for new partners? Which policymakers are interested in online learning for their district/borough? Other interested constituents? Can borough technology directors serve on the planning team?
