Jeb Bush campaigned vigorously in 2010 to expand such reforms, with

tremendous success. About a month after the election, he unveiled his

road map for implementing a far-reaching ten-point agenda for virtual

schools and online coursework. Former West Virginia Governor Bob Wise, a

Democrat, has barnstormed the country to encourage lawmakers to adopt

Bush’s plan, which calls for the permanent financing of

education-technology reforms, among other changes.<strong> </strong>In

one promotional video, Wise says it is “not only about the content” of

the online courses but the “process” of students becoming acquainted

with learning on the Internet.
