I think that the online classroom is one of the best things that could have ever happen to school.  I feel that it give s the child an upper hand in learning when it comes to doing it online.  I think that learning online teaches a child a source of discipline when it comes to working online.  I believe this because they have to make themselves do the work instead of having a teacher making sure that they work gets completed.  The way technology is coming about today it makes it easier for school to go with more of the online fact.  If it weren’t for Web 2.0 and all the different social sights out there things such as online classrooms would not be possible today.  I think that people’s biggest fear when it comes to online classes is the social aspect of school.  That’s one thing I feel that will be lost when online classrooms become more common in high school.  Besides learning the material there is a whole social aspect of school that need to be there.  So I think the fact that online classroom are available is good in all, but they need to come up with some type of social aspect to fill the void of what is missing when in an online classroom.
