Online Learning in EDBT 4570 - Nov. 17-21
I really love the online work. It's great not have to leave school early to make class. However, I think I still love meeting in class because I also find it challenging to complete the online work during the week with all of the other millions of things that I have to do. I find myself putting it off until the weekend, then rushing to get it done. Especially last week: the prior week was HOSA week (Health Occupations Students of America) and I was really overwhelmed that week and the week after, so completing the work online was a real challenge. I'm thinking that I'll get the hang of it by the end of the semester, so I should be ready for it next semester. smile. Honestly, I like going to class, mingling with my classmates to get ideas for what's working or not working in the classroom. That face to face communication cannot be beat. But.....we're all extremely busy and not going downtown is a plus. I think I like the combination of online and face to face. I'm a visual learner, so the perfect mix is some online and some "in class" time.
Hi, Georgette - great points. Things do get hectic at school and time really does fly - before you know it, though, you will be a real veteran, and things will go smoother!
ReplyDeleteI agree about the in class networking. It is fun to just get to talk and get ideas from all types of industry people. HOSA week was a busy week-Thanksgiving break is next!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you because I think that certain days being able to just go home is great. But the face to face can help at times to get feedback on things
