Distance Learning
I am sometimes amazed at how far technology has actually taken us. For me, I could not have gotten my masters degree without distance learning. I finished my M.ed and never even saw the campus. It is amazing the relationships you can build just by using online tools such as blogs, wikis, or educational tools such as moodle or blackboard. I even had one teacher teach the entire class via a wiki (Thank you Jeff Utecht) and it was amazing. We got to chat when needed, see revisions in real time and all of our projects were listed with clear directions. With email being more relevant than telephone we were able to use that medium as well. Skype was also very helpful. When I took the class, we had arranged times to talk on skype to touch base and have questions answered. I am a true believer in distance education and wonder how well it would work out for say, middle school students. What traits would they need be good distant learners? Just a thought..

I dont think that distance learning is a reliable tool. I mean, it could be for some things, but not if you want to do all of your learning there.
I think distance learning is very helpful also.

That sounds really fun. Was it? My opinon on distance learning is that it is fun because you can see and hear the person you're talking to instead of just typing to them through a computer.

I don't agree I do not find distance learningt helpful. I think that it just frustrating
I dont think distance learning would be good i think it would be harder. I think this because you can not ask the teacher or show the teacher what you do not get. So i think distance learning would not help you.
I agree tecnology has come along way! Distence learning is awsome! My opinion on distence learning is...
I think it is a great way to learn. We can talk and connect with different parts and people in the world! We can learn abought multible subjects when we do distence learning, Languge, Manners, Geogrophy, Sciene, and more! Distence leaning is a great way to learn, thats my opinon!
