Times change, and also technology changes the medium of instruction. Everyone has trouble accepting change, as has been apparent with your posts in this particular section of the forums, but change happens and does not stop.
Oh for god's sake. now, really here folks. This is the 2nd post that's trying to harp on this "change" and "technology" drum. Not to mention that my viewpoint is based on "prejudice" and the inability to accept technological change.
I'm not sure what your "distance learning" schools are telling you, but they're not the only schools using technology.
ABA Law schools are using technology. Every school is using technology. High schools and junior colleges are using technology.
"Traditional" schools aren't at a disadvantage to distance-learning in the use of technology. It's a tool in their bag. This isn't a question of:
"You can chose a traditional school which uses no technology, or you can chose a distance school that uses innovative technology."
Be serious, folks. The reality is that you can chose a traditional school that involves a classroom experience AND technology, or you can chose a distance learning school that uses just electronic distance learning methods.
This isn't A or B. It's "A+B" or "just B". "Traditional" schools aren't the ones with limited tools. They're using them all.
It's the distance learning schools that are only using a limited set of teaching tools.
As for the rest, I guess I am just getting a hard lesson in why the regulars don't comment on this part of the board.
Best of luck with your studies. I hope you find what you're looking for.
You can ascribe my perspective to mean-spiritedness, prejudice and resistance to change if it makes you feel better. That's one way to look at it.
However, from the other perspective, the speed with which this whole thing devolved into, "you're just prejudiced, don't understand change and are just a biggo meanie trying to crush our dreams" tells me that there really isn't much discussion that's possible on this topic.
