  • Proponents of online classes say they are a cost-effective alternative to traditional instruction that provide students more flexibility in their learning, as well as access to a greater variety of options

      Having a variety of class options would make learning more interesting for students because they would get to choose some of the classes taken.
  • In Florida, thousands of students now rely solely on computers instead of teachers for their daily virtual lessons

      This is a downfall because students need more face-to-face interaction so that these next generations aren't considered igenerations as well as us.

      This comment could seem bias coming from the Author, however, because school are relying on technology to teach students. Based on this authors other comments they seem to be valid and unbiased toward the subject.

      Is being an igeneration such a bad thing? Couldn't it be argued that more technological students will make more successful business people in the future?

      Using computers are a pretty good idea but then it is technology and it does not always help with the students learning ability. The face-to-face interaction with the teacher is needed in some lessons that are sometimes hard to work on with out extra help.
  • The analysis did find that students in online conditions performed modestly better, on average, than those learning the same material through traditional face-to-face instruction.

      This is interesting to note because previously it was stated that there was no factual information of whether or not these online schools were affective.

      Students may perform better though online classes but they may not be able to retain that information very well with out having the repetition.

    This site may be useful however when looking through this site it is important to note whether something is a blog post or factual.

    While this site is another place to sign up for virtual education, it also has a link for research which provides numerous other links to provide reassurance and other information. In my opinion this would be a good place to retract research from.

    Even though this site is from 2006 it includes many sources which leads me to believe that it is going to be a very reliable website.

    Description: This link is a summary of 'distance' education and shows how it has changed school for the student and for the teacher.

    Beaudoin recognized that faculty would have to adjust monitoring and evaluating the work of geographically distant learners rather than transmit information in person (Beaudoin, 1990) - I can see how contacting students for a teacher would be difficult when you could have students in different states for the same class. Along with the fact that technology can be very temperamental so you can't always rely on it.
