“I love teaching online because it is a personal thing for me. I get to know each of my students by our one-on-one interactions. And that means there are no students in the back of my classroom *just taking notes and not engaging.* Also, I have a passion of helping my students develop and fine-tune their critical thinking skills.”
Many years ago I was excited to enroll in a correspondence course. My excitement then was because I had a family, and it was just impossible to attend traditional classes. I have that same excitement with the online learning environment--it affords so many people the opportunity to go to school. This format works with the ever-busy environment in which we are all involved. I can sit in a nice cozy room on a snowy day and teach students who are sitting in the same environment. No traffic, sipping something warm (cocoa :), typing away on the computer! It's the life! p.s. AND students get results back much faster than the old days of correspondence classes and snail mail!
