  1. I have access to free language classes from our library. I have found it too hard to do a class all by myself, especially a language class. It is frustrating because I really want to learn a new language, but I find teaching yourself online very lonely and hard. I was a good student in school and college, and had no problem studying, but online is different. OK for some people, but not for everyone, even if free.

    I can understand how online learning can save both time and money and is an effective tool for some people. I do believe that if possible a school setting has other benefits, especially for younger people.

  3. I completed a few of my nursing prerequisites online about 13 years ago, so I’ve always been a big fan of online learning. It really saves time and frustration commuting to class, fighting for a parking space, sitting in class for hours, and driving home in the darkness.

    • I did the same thing Deb when I was going for my BSN. When I was working FT has an RN, I didn’t have time to commute to a campus and do on-campus classes, so I did mine online. It was cost-effective online too!

    Thank you for sharing these great tips. I will look into this further. There are a few courses that I am interested in taking and the Internet may be the way to go for me as I live in such a rural area. Hope you have a wonderful Mother’s Day and God Bless.
