Taking the online class is a real commitment. Many folks think that it is the easy way to go. It can be an easy (as in convenient) way to go for many. I like that we have access whenever we want...it can be at 2:00 am if you can't sleep, or 5:00 am if you are an early riser...
What I like most, though, is that you are taking things you are "learning" in this class and applying them in your own classrooms. I hate to ever see anyone do busy work...this work is "authentic", and will hopefully make your own classroom enriched with some new sources and some new ideas to engage your students in learning.
Make no mistake...this course is lots of work and takes lots of time to complete. I think it is worth it. Besides, you don't have to find a parking spot or drive through snow to do your work. No babysitter needed!
