Activity 2
Based on the readings I do not have any unanswered questions.
However, I think that many parents determining whether or not to have their
student take classes online would still have questions. There is no proof that
online schooling as a whole is better or worse than face to face schooling. This
might leave parents confused. I think that it is up to each individual school
to do their own research and prove that their school would help a particular
child. If the school can make a convincing case to parents that their school
works, then parents would be fine with their child attending online schooling.
Summary
After reading this blog I learned that is important to not
ask “if online learning is working”, but “under what circumstances does online
learning work?” I think this is a very important take away, because not all
online schools work for every student. There are many factors which determine
whether a child will be successful in an online school. With that being said
there are also many factors that would determine if a child will succeed in a
brick and mortal class. It is important to remember that some brick and mortar
schools are successful, but not all are.
The same is true for online learning.
You can’t really compare the two because it really is based on each
individual institution, the teachers, and the students.
