If given the choice, would you rather teach online or in a traditional school? After teaching online for over a year and in a traditional school for over seventeen years, I realize I do have a preference. I feel like online is more of a hit em and quit em style while brick and mortar is a classic style of teaching where the teacher is the authoritarian and students maintain a routine.
I think it takes a certain discipline to be able to learn online. I have two children and I know that one child has the attention span to sit 25 minutes in front of the computer to learn something while the other one does not. In terms of pay, B&M wins hands down and also offers benefits packages while online usually does not in most cases.
I do believe that everyone can learn in a classroom setting but it takes a great deal of discipline to learn online. Where do you think the future lies regarding online teaching and B&M schools?
