In the article We See This as the Future of Higher Education by Karl Fisch, was about how many classes in college are now being taught over the web just like some of AHS Algebra classes. Many college students are now taking classes that are broadcasted on the internet so it is easy for students to watch and “attend” class. If colleges are now starting to teach this way then it will be very important for students in college and in high school to uphold their part in this privilege because if students do not watch the podcasts of class then they will not be able to figure out what is going on in class and will not come in to ask the teachers questions. This matters to me because I have a class where our teacher posts podcasts and you have to watch them or class the next day will not help because it is all based on the podcast the day before. Also this way of learning helps some people learn better and if it helps me understand the content better I would want to try this way of learning. Online podcasts of class matter to education because many people are not able to attend class once in a while and this would help them not miss everything in class. Also it is a cheaper way of teaching for many colleges and is saving them money. This matters to the world because maybe one day anyone could attend a college class anywhere in the world and still participate in class while in a different country. Online learning could revolutionize school.
