My name is purva and I agree that on line corses definately help a lot to students. I work with MD State Department of Education in maryland and our Goal is to give best tools to students with highly qualified mentors and teachers.
Please respond Thanks

I agree that virtual learning could be very beneficial to certain types of students. This is something that could benefit students and teachers. I agree the social environment of middle and high schools is an essential part of development, and I agree that virtual learning should not be used to obtain high school diplomas. I am thankful it is an option for me because I am currentyly working on a Master's Degree. It allows me the flexibility to work on my schedule and not someone else's.

The more I am involved in on-line classes, the less intimidated I feel to utilize it for professional advancement. I think that virtual school does demand a lot of self-motivation, so it is not for everybody. I like the flexibity to build classes in my busy schedule.

After watching this video, I feel motivated to try this one day. In order for the online schooling to work, I agree that the students must be self-starters and highly motivated.

Right now, I'm attending an online university to get my Master's in teaching. The professor does have more one on one time with each student, as they stated in the video. Our online collaboration is amazing. I love learning in this way because everyone has to participate. It is more interactive than I expected.

I teach high school drawing and painting, art survey and studio and one online course.
I am definitely frustrated with the online course as it is not the same as being able to work through the entire process of envisioning to engaging and persisting to problem solving with each student. I only see the end result. The course is also much too basic for high school level. I teach in Appleton, WI.
