In week 13, we discussed distance education, which is becoming increasingly popular in the educational field. Distance education is the teaching of students who are not physically in the classroom. Virtual schooling, which is a type of distance education, is also becoming increasingly popular. There are many advantages to distance education, including the ability to work at your own pace, convenience of location, and increased opportunities for growth.
As a future teacher, distance education is something that I should become used to seeing more often. It could, very well, be something that I or one of my peers turns into a career. Even though there are not always physical classrooms involved in distance education, there are teachers to create lessons and educate the students in some way.
Below is a link to a video that is a news segment that discusses virtual schooling. It discusses the difference between virtual school and home schooling, and the benefits compared to traditional public schools.
