Online Class Rooms A Fair Substitute Says US Study

Do you want to get back to those corridors where once you wept for escaping those boring class rooms that later became your most valuable walkway in your life? Moreover, it was there you found your most valuable friends, your hidden treasure. But days have changed. Time has galloped farther. These days, we are confined to a personal computer powered with broadband internet facility that can provide anything under the sun without any proximity. That may be the reason why a new study have proved online class rooms better than those nostalgic ones with wooden benches and desks on which you have inscribed your gang name with those useless compass or ruler.

US Department of Education are up with results from a study that said "On average, students in online learning conditions performed better than those receiving face-to-face instruction." The study also indicated that just two years ago, nearly 4 million students were taking at least one course online. That number has since increased yearly by double-digit percentages.

The Department of Education report notes that the ability for students to use their time in a flexible manner boosted online education's popularity," says Dr. Sal Arria, CEO/Co-Founder of ISSA. "According to our students, the flexibility of our online accredited programs is among the top reasons for choosing ISSA for their fitness education."

However, what is important is your view and I expect your comments on this. Do you really want to get your children turn nostalgic over those technically powered class rooms that would provide only voices, commands, and guidelines through simulated codes?

Your blog on the travails of Maradona and the Argentina team was an interesting read.
For all derby fans as to who makes a better player, Di Stéfano or Maradona is a matter of intense dispute. Di Stéfano having played with three different national teams during his career Argentina, Spain and Colombia, will however always be an exception and something posterity would remember with awe.
