Online Education vs. Traditional Learning

Filed in archive Articles of note... by Jamie Littlefield on January 15, 2008

Dallas News readers recently posted their opinions about online learning in public schools on the Sound Off section of the website. As always, it's interesting to read the various views people have in regards to new technology. Here's a sample:
In Favor of Online Learning: " Having been a computer professional, I believe that online education fills a significant need in our society. Many children, for various reasons, cannot either excel or even keep up in a classroom environment, but would excel in a self-actuated environment. -John Rafferty, Dallas"

Against Online Learning: " Assignments, reminders or special comments the teacher forgot to make in class can be sent to a student's computer, but the impersonal computer is not an adequate substitute for the interaction between students and between the teacher and students in a classroom. -Marvin J. Noble, Dallas"
Take a look at the Sound Off page to enjoy the rest of the discussion.
