Online learning for the student is a well rounded approach because our students were born in this computer age.  Student are very knowledgable with all types of comuputer knowledge. The students are wiser to computers but weaker to common sence knowledge.  They are so geard into the computer but  they don't have the common sense to put it down so they can relate and communicate in their surroundings.  Their computer knowledge is good because they help teach the Baby Boomers who relate by doing everything by hand.  So the phrase turns around that we are wise in common sense but… >>>
