Where there’s a will, there’s a way. The internet can expose you to whatever you have interest in, good or bad. Parents should monitor whatever happens in their home like internet usage. Your kids are going to learn inappropriate things and that’s out of your control. Let’s face it the internet does more good than bad; you just have to monitor what goes on. The internet just makes things more accessible, but that is the beauty of being online.
Myth# 2
I think being able to visualize makes you more comfortable, but it doesn’t make you necessarily “learn it.” I used to say that I was a visual learn, but I’m more hands-on.
Myth# 3
I’m not really sure about this one. When I was in grade school the boys always understood math easier than girls. The girls would always grasp literature and grammar better.
Myth# 4
People are never too old to learn something new. Although, they don’t have the patience they used to have.
Myth# 5
Being self-directed has nothing to do with online courses. Prior to this semester I would try to avoid online classes because the lack of clarification with the syllabus. My previous professors had no training and typically had no desire to teach online. If you’re driven you’ll exceed no matter what environment learning occurs in.
