Week 3 Is DE for everyone? Pros/Cons

Is DE for everyone?
Distance Education is for everyone and there are vast opportunities that exist. Some of the opportunities for me are that I can learn and take classes while I have a full-time job. It is an amazing opportunity for me. I would not be able to take evening classes because of my job/taking care of my family. As an educator, there are many sites that I have discovered are wonderful tools to utilize in my classroom. I really like the Tappedin site and how you can post questions and receive many responses back. I like the OLDaily site and the informative articles that can be found there. I found a site to use at OLDaily with games that my students would like.

Pros/Cons of DE
For me, there are only really advantages, I will use DE often in my practice as an educator. Collaborating with others to share ideas is a huge benefit for me, as well as finding new sites to incorporate into my curriculum. I will continue to use DE in my practice even after I take this class because as an educator, you are a lifelong learner. I continually learn and apply new things in my classroom that I am learning from my online courses this semester. The only disadvantages of DE that I experienced were not knowing how to set up a blog/feeder/use tappedin properly (thats all ha-ha). These are all mistakes that I could fix and learn from though.
