While distance learning has incorporated blogs and virtual classroom methods - this type of education still falls short of many of Wesch's ideals: participation, dialogue, production, tagging, networking, etc.<br /><br />It could be that if distance learning quickly adapts to the 'social network' they may become more relevant than the classroom experience.Jane Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14553751113820573506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7422490377327797576.post-91140615107121943462011-02-28T10:19:28.679-08:002011-02-28T10:19:28.679-08:00You raise important issues about costs and benefit...You raise important issues about costs and benefits... so the question I think Wesch would ask is, how do we turn those online experiences into face to face learning for our students? Or how does that online learning create more opportunities for engagement in the world?

I disagree that these will ever take the place of a passionate, well informed teacher to guide and stimulate a student, no matter what the students age. These online universitity courses serve a purpose but seem one dimentional and flat.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03122761775996157903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7422490377327797576.post-62092262698590448372011-02-27T06:48:55.728-08:002011-02-27T06:48:55.728-08:00Diana,

We live in a text-first, talk-if-we-have-to world. Take our Blogs for instance-many of us are quite expressive on the blogs, but when we get to class, we either don't say hello to each other, or if we get into groups, we tend to get a bit of anxiety about what we are going to say regarding the article. <br /><br />As far as the online education being a problem, I do NOT think that we will be replaced by screens, but I do see a new wave of "Online Testing" rather than the "Paper Testing" becoming more and more a part of the Education World.Ronny D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14377286912694054900noreply@blogger.com
