Week 13- Distance Education and Virtual Schooling

In class we spoke about distance education and virtual schooling. Online resources are definitely a fundamental portion of my college education. In discussion we spoke about the many online classes that are offered at the University of Florida and programs such as the University of Florida Masters of Business program that is offered totally online. We also discussed the legitimacy of online degrees and what profession would an online degree would be appropriate. We also reviewed what the future of online education would be in primary education as well as secondary education and whether it helps or hurts a child. We agreed that in some situation such a medical injury or may be in early childhood online education could replace the traditional classroom. Although, the class generally ha the consensus children need to experience peer-to-peer interaction in the classroom.

I don't have much use for online education. If I were to pursue a graduate degree I would want to participate in an online program so I could work. Thoguh, as ar as public relations and law an online education isn't very suitable.
