It's just food for the soul. It's my belief that there is a balance somewhere between this somewhat intangibility that's the Internet, and the very tangible human presence. The key will be to strike and keep that balance. I know I've felt an immediate connection with certain people I've met here. =o) xoxoxo AndieBrown Bee Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05422127221220131506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21205123.post-6398305554874961122008-11-02T16:09:00.000-06:002008-11-02T16:09:00.000-06:00This is also a fascinating concept that I too stru...This is also a fascinating concept that I too struggle with. Technology has created a wonderful convenience and we are seeing this CrAzY RaPiD ChAnGe before our eyes. We live in such an amazing time. I believe this concept is great for adult students, but I am concerned about our children learning this way. My fear is that this movement of growth will eventually create a total environment of unsocial people.<BR/>It is important to me that we stay in human contact and have the option of reaching out to touch<BR/>someone.<BR/>I personally am a little afraid to lose that element of "Humanness"<BR/><BR/>Thanks D.<BR/>XXOOThe Landscaperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09296318062526930503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21205123.post-64007109253235789972008-11-01T21:05:00.000-05:002008-11-01T21:05:00.000-05:00I can honestly say, my blogfriends and forumbuddie...I can honestly say, my blogfriends and forumbuddies know me better than 99% of my face-to-face friends.<BR/><BR/>XOXOXOXOSishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03446825593460416289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21205123.post-62144387813272949812008-11-01T07:57:00.000-05:002008-11-01T07:57:00.000-05:00I've tried online classes (as a student) and I hav...I've tried online classes (as a student) and I have a difficult time with them. I've tried photoshop and some technique classes and I think that I need to be there, with the teacher, feeling the group vibe, the enthusiasm and handling the samples. So far, I DO need to be in the same room to connect. But re: blogging -- I do feel a connection with the soul of the blogger.....I'll keep thinking about this.... thanks Dawn!martha brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897250180581262611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21205123.post-44268573519570440552008-10-30T15:09:00.000-05:002008-10-30T15:09:00.000-05:00Interesting ideas.

For example, literature classes are more fun in person, it can be done on-line but the spontaneity of the discussion is sometimes lost. If the on-line class is video on demand then it can be done at your time schedule but if you have issues with something you must wait to get help through email or phone, so time is wasted waiting. I have also taken webex training where the teacher holds the class at a specific time and you login and watch them. You ask questions and such. Again depending on the class it can leave a lot to be desired in the learning process or for say a math class just perfect. :) Hope you have a great day!~Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01191283310276394742noreply@blogger.com
