Steve O’Hear’s article on E-learning was very informative. He suggests that students should be able to blog on problems and use other web based technologies to enhance the learning process of students. He admits that the full impact of internet learning is not completely understood. My daughter recently was taking an online math class at Virginia Tech and in short she ended up dropping the course because she was not doing well in the class. I personally have taken many online classes; however, she was never fortunate enough to take an online class and her first experience was not the best. Our principal hopes to one day soon make taking an online class a requirement to graduate from NCS. His reasoning is simple; he wants to prepare our students for college. More and more colleges are offering online classes and what better way to do well than to have practice before you go to college. I personally am thinking about teaching an online class this summer in Advanced Microsoft Applications. I taught this class last semester as a dual credit class and hopefully I will be able to do that again this summer to a group of students. I am not sure what platform I will use. I am thinking about using Rcampus.com, but I still need to do some more research. If you have experience with another platform and would be kind enough to share it here, I would be greatly appreciative. Happy educating and until next time.
