Virtual Schooling

Some college students here at Cortland have been exposed to the "online
class" effect. Before this article I did not realize how quickly this
new way of learning is spreading. Overall, I feel as though it has its
positives and negatives; I think this correlates with what kind of
person you are. I am a person that would rather have the conventional
ways of a classroom to acquire knowledge as opposed to getting it off
an online class. I need to have that teacher in front of me and be able
to be shown and thoroughly taught what is going on at times. I am more of a hands-on
learner- - perhaps more visual learners would be prone to learn this
way? Another thing is, the idea of doing some work at one point in
time, taking a break and coming back to it later in the day seems like
a great idea for some people; however, I know that i would personally
procrastinate this work and it may overwhelm/ suffocate me if I put it
off for too long if a time.

Overall, the article really made
me sit down and think about the future. Years and years ago, people
would have never thought of so much as a computer! Then as time
progressed, the thought of a classroom being held on the computer
wasn't even a thought neither! Now, this is all happening and it is
information like this that really makes you wonder.. what the heck is
next????
