Ch. 10; Question 3: What role do you think distance education will play in education as the Information Age unfolds and technologies improve? What advantages and disadvantages for teachers and students do you foresee?
Distance education will soon begin to impact education majorly. It has already taken college level education by storm, and it is starting to do the same in grade school. Soon parents will have full option to allow their kids to do online schoolwork. Advantages are the ability to not need a physical school; maybe just an information system. Disadvantages include students missing out on that very very important social aspect that physical schooling gives. Students won't be able to interact with one another which will become a problem. As far as teachers, there will not be a need for as many as there are in physical schools, therefore many teachers will be out of jobs.
