There are definitely positives for me with online classes. I love the fact I can take my classes at night; right from home and do not have to worry about additional childcare. At this time a traditional college would not work for me, I am a single working mom and have a child with special needs. So the flexibility of online classes is a plus. Also, it’s great to take classes in my pj’s without offending anyone (lol).
However, not having personal interaction or being able to read body language took some getting used. I haven’t really formed any close or lasting relationships from previous classes. I think blogging may be a great way to get to know each other, along with discussing class work; we get to communicate about ourselves personally.
So, I am going to try to be more vigilant with adding to my blog:)

I love classes at night also! I think it is so cool to hold my daughter on my lap while I'm in class. She thinks it's awesome also. She can "attend" school with me. I love classes in my pj's as well. My favorite spot is my recliner to log in and attend a class. It calms me down after a long stressful day!
