After listening to Jill’s presentation on Wednesday, I now have a much more positive outlook on the idea of online dating. Last week I responded to Katie’s blog saying I agreed with her thoughts of online dating. Most of these thoughts were negative ones. I realized that before I talk down on something I must first be educated on the subject, or have experienced or tried it myself. Although, I don’t think that I will ever use online dating, but who knows.
I liked listening to the presentations because I learned a lot. I think that it is a lot more beneficial and to gain information through a face to face presentation rather than just reading the articles myself. Reading can get boring, but listening to the presentations kept my interest and it made a lot more sense to me. Jamie helped me to understand her presentation by using visual aids, and the others used ‘real life’ scenarios to show examples of what they were talking about it. I believe that with learning, face to face communication is a lot more interesting and understandable. I don’t think that I would be a good candidate for online education. Although I find online education useful and interesting, I prefer to have face to face interaction with my professors and fellow classmates. It is just the way I prefer to learn.

Leah, I agree with your comment about online learning. I too would be a terrible cantidate for this type of education. I get distracted easily and witout class a few times a week to keep me on track I can forget what I have to do. It will be tricky for me to make sure I keep up with everything this week for electronic communication.
Leah, I agree I used to think online dating seemed ridiculous. But now I think that for the right person, it isn't so bad after all. Still, I would not use it myself, but I don't think its a bad thing for some cases.
I was also thinking about the online learning. Could I really do that? I'm not sure. I'm typically pretty good at motivating myself, but would I understand the material as well if I didn't have someone to explain it to me FtF? I'm not so sure...
Leah-
I agree with you about online dating. I was very skeptical at first, but now listening from another point of view, it might not be all that bad.
And I took an online class this summer and it was harder than I expected. I thought it would be so easy since it was all done online, but it actually was tricky because you had to constantly remember to check the school website and be in routine. I don't think I'll do it again!!
