Mr. Stanek discussion of online class is amazingly not much different than ours. The online class takes a little adjustment but I do think I like it. It is unlike the online class I had last semester. Last semester you read what the teacher post and then you respond by typing. We didn't have any "on-time" communication that we have now. I'm amazed with the possiblities we have with our's and Mr. Stanek's virtual class. We have opportunity to actually speak. We can have discussions by typing. The teacher can share a web page, powerpoint, and more in an extra window. All of this at one time. This is really the age of multitasking.
I do think it takes time to adjust to this virual world. The multitasking will get easier as I get familiar with all the functions of the virtual class. The speaker is difficult to adjust to. It is odd to talk to a computer, but there are people really listening. You just don't know how you are coming across. It is an adjustment that one has to learn to get use to.

I agree that this online teaching does require a few (many) adjustments on the part of both the student and instructor. MOST of the time the class is not synchronous and you simply do the work and turn it in. There is a place for both types and I try to balance it when I can.
