Student Success Statement

“Everyone is the architect of their own learning.”

Claudius

I think this quote means that everyone learns at a different pace and also everyone learns differently. For example some people learn and remember better with pictures, while others learn and remember better with reading and formulas and such. Point is that you should be responsible for your learning—not somebody else’s

Distance Education: Is a Virtual Classroom For You? (Part 2)

Positive Aspects of Distance Education

·        Independence and time management: Taking courses online lets you hone your ability to work on your own. You also gain experience in managing your time efficiently.

·        A flexible schedule: Schools can only provide a certain number of class periods in a single school day, and there may not be enough time for you to take everything you want. Because distance lets you take classes outside regular school hours, it gives you the flexibility to explore all your areas of interest.

·        Advanced and specialized classes: Some schools can’t provide  advanced or specialized classes. Distance education gives you the chance to gain experience in areas that would otherwise remain out of reach.

You may want to take a class that your high school doesn’t offer. Under some circumstances, you can enroll in the class—through distance learning.

Distance education means taking a class without being physically present where it is being taught. Internet-based technology lets students participate in lectures and class sessions online from almost anywhere.

Some high schools agree to recognize distance-learning credits when  they don’t have the resources to offer a course themselves. Distance education is often used to increase options in rural and for AP® courses.

For you, it might mean doing self-tutorial at home in the evening, or participating in a class that is 1,000 miles away, along with other high school students. Check with your school counselor to see what’s available.

5. Don’t sit in the back of the room. Successful students minimize classroom distractions that interfere with learning. Students want the best available for their entertainment dollars, but willingly seek the worst seat for their educational dollars. Students who sit in the back cannot possibly be their professor’s teammate (see no. 4). Why do they expose themselves to the temptations of initiative classroom experiences and distractions of all people between them and their instructors? Of course, we know they choose the back of the classroom because they seek invisibility or anonymity, both of which are antithetical to efficient and effective learning. If you are trying not to be part of the class, why, then, are you wasting your time? Push your hot buttons is there something else you should be doing with your time?

6. Take good notes. Successful students take notes that are understandable and organized, and often review them. Why put something into your notes you don’t understand? Ask the questions now that are necessary to make of your notes while the material is still fresh on your mind helps you learn later and the less time it will take because you won’t have to include some deciphering time, also. The whole purpose of taking notes is to use them often. The more you use them, the more they improve.
