Online class article A

The article I chose was one about a study of 66 female college students and online classes. It says how classes online and internet discussions the students can share their own understandings of what is going on in the class with the others. This makes learning broader and easier to do in big groups. They can use chats and discussion boards to communicate ideas and information with one another. Also because when you write in a discussion board you are able to look back on what you wrote and the responses and analyze your report.
This article is interesting to read and gives off the idea that online classes would be beneficial to the high school and college kids but not to the younger elementary kids. The classes can be more effective on line since they can write their own responses and see them. It’s a good article to the questions about why online classes and how they can be beneficial to the students. It shows some good pros to the technological use of the online class.

I agree that this article provides a sufficient amount of insight. The article indeed states that the students can easily receive feedback and communicate with their peers. The article also stresses the other benefits to classes online. I also believe that some of the ideas that are listed in the article that are used to make online classes so successful could be integrated into high schools. I believe that communication online could even be integrated to upper level elementary grades,and middle schools. I definitely agree that this article presents a good argument for furtherng online courses and technology in education.
