4 Reasons You Should Try Online Learning

Online Learning is something I believe everyone should experience at least once. For me online learning was a solution to my serious distaste for the traditional classroom setting, which for me was more tortuous than it was educational. For some students who are shy, or even just those who are scared of being wrong a classroom can be scary place. There is nothing worse in school then falling behind because you are embarrassed to ask for help with twenty-three other students around you. Online learning gives these students the chance to learn in an environment that they feel comfortable in and where they feel they can best express themselves.

1. Work can be done at your own pace.

Your assignments are usually given to you at the beginning of the week along with whatever book chapters or videos you need to watch in order to complete the assignments. This is a major plus because it allows the students to work school into their own schedules. Many students who do online learning don’t necessarily have the time to attend an actual campus full time, such as those in the military or parents who have a family to support.

2. Anywhere, Anytime, Anyplace.......As long as there's Internet.

Want to take that wild vacation with your BFF’s but have assignments due that week? No problem. You can do your assignments anywhere and at any time you want as long as you have the internet access to submit them. Most Universities that offer online learning also usually have 24/7 online tutoring for most of their subjects. So go ahead, pack a bag and live life to the fullest.

3. One on One.

Unlike the traditional classroom setting you get more one on one time with your professors then you normally would. You are given your teachers email address and telephone numbers to reach them in case you need their assistance. This allows you to get help and in case you are uncomfortable with everyone knowing it’s completely private.

4. Computer savvy.

Becoming more knowledgeable about computers is never a bad thing. We spend so much time on the internet now a days, from checking in on Facebook to checking on current events in the news. Doing classes online can help you to become more comfortable not only with using internet browsers for research but also with using programs like Microsoft Office Word, PowerPoint, and even Excel. Knowing these programs could be a huge help to you in the future, whether it’s in a professional way or just helping your future children with a school assignment.

Online Learning is something that so many people swear by; it gives an opportunity to everyone to get an education in an environment that they are best able to succeed in. I will always stand by my choice to do online schooling because it was what was best for me like it is for many around the world.

So go forth students, and choose the learning method best for you.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
