Ch. 1 Kearsley

Ch. 1 Kearsley
Online Education has many benefits for students and teachers. According to Kearsley, the biggest single change that online education brings about is an increased tendency toward collaboration among students and teachers. I am looking forward to the collaboration of ideas and thoughts that can enhance my classroom. Through the establishment of blog addresses, I have already discovered many useful websites to use as learning tools with my students. Kearsley states that, online education involves levels of connectivity, community, and knowledge sharing that are rarely seen in school settings. I enjoy hearing about other students' perspectives of what Distance Education is and how it can be applied to positively impact education.
I work with young children on a daily basis, so what is the purpose of games for young children? Kearsley suggests that young children love to explore, and online classes often use this approach. Learning can be made to be more exciting for children through the application of games and multimedia technology. I am looking forward to enhancing my third grade curriculum with new games and videos that will make learning daily concepts entertaining and fun.
