This video is all about the benefits and future of Online learning. Online education helps students become more technology advanced, improves online communication and self teaching. It also helps because if there are not enough teachers for a certain subject in an area which the student lives, they can take the course online. Also it allows the students to work at there own pace.

In my opinion this is a good idea to a certain extent. I think it is a great idea for people who want to take a class that is not offered at there local schools. But at the same time I feel physical schools are still better for learning. There are teachers actually in the room with you, which I think would be easier for them to explain and problems or questions a student has. Also I do not believe that students with learning disabilities would be able to catch onto and get involved with the online learning, because they normally need assistance with there school work to fully understand it. I feel it would be extremely difficult for them to succeed over online where there is not someone there along with them.
