Distance Education
Distance Education: Is a Virtual Classroom for You?
Part 1
You may want to take a class that your high school doesn’t
offer. Under some circumstances, you can still enroll in the class- through
distance learning.
Distance education means taking a class without being
physically present where it is being taught. Internet-based technology lets
students participate in lectures and class sessions online from almost
anywhere.
Some high schools agree to recognize distance-learning
credits when they don’t have the resources to offer a course themselves.
Distance education is often used to increase options in rural areas and for AP
courses.
For you, it might mean doing self-tutorial at home in the
evening, or participating in a class that is 1,000 miles away, along with other
high school students. Check with your school counselor to see what’s available.

Additional Tips
Although working and going to schools is challenging, it can
be a rewarding experience if you use some foresight. These tips can help you
handle the situation and make the most of your time:
·
Discuss your plans with your family. Balancing
the demands of school and work is easier with their support.
·
Start slowly; don’t commit to working a lot of
hours immediately.
·
Avoid time conflicts by planning your class and
work schedules as far ahead of time as possible.
·
Use your times efficiently. You can use 10
minutes waiting in a line to go over a few pages of assigned reading. If your
job has a lot of down time and your boss has no objection, you can use slow
periods to do school work.
·
If you commute to your job on public
transportation, bring your school work with you so you can work along the way.
·
Be flexible and willing to make sacrifices. You
may have to cut down on some other things you like to do because of school and
work commitments.
·
If you have too much on your plate, admit it.
Then cut back as needed.
·
Schedule relaxation time. Everyone needs some
downtime to stay happy and healthy.

He reminds students that “the activities and courses students
choose vary considerably, so it’s important for young people to keep their
individual situations clearly in mind.” McGowan continues, “For example student
actors should allow for the fact that they won’t have as much time during
performance seasons. Student athletes need to remember the times of year that
they’ll be tied up with games and practices. Other students who are in classes
that make considerable demands outside of the classroom must keep that reality
in mind. “
