#randomquestion: Online Education

What do you think of online education?

I think online education is really, really awesome. I think it opens a lot of doors for a lot of different people and that it can be a great opportunity to get a higher education! Many parents, who can't leave their house for hours at a time can take advantage of online education. Or students who don't have a car and can't travel. Or they don't have enough money for room & board, and can only afford tuition. There are a lot of benefits to going to school online. And with technology as great as it is, it's very easy to feel like you're in a classroom setting while sitting in your PJs on the couch. 

I got my masters online, and I often brag that I got my MA in my sweatpants. We had to participate in discussions, present PowerPoint to our class, write papers, and work on group projects just like on campus students. Working entirely online also prepares you for technology and forces you to learn new tech. Prezi, Google Drive, Drop Box, YouTube, to name a few. 

You definitely need to be focused and organized to complete a degree online. And it might take a little longer, but if you have the patience and gusto, it's well worth it.
