Distance Learning and Introduction to the Internet...

Chapter 7 included a lot of information that is used daily online. The first part of the chapter was helpful because it discussed the different types of distant learning and different applications for the classroom. I think that as an educator integrating tools for distant education will be beneficial to students that have to travel or miss school. It can also provide a means for students to interact with there peers when off of campus. It will be important as an educator to keep in mind that there will be a digital divide, and not all students will have access to technology for additional resources. I enjoyed the first part of this chapter, and struggled through the second, which discussed navigating the web, bookmarks, search engines and emails. I feel like as a current college student I am required to use the internet daily and a lot of this information is common knowledge, especially at this point in this class.
