Online learning or virtual school has become more common than ever before. Over the past year, most students have experienced learning in an online environment, whether it was for a few weeks or for an entire school year. Think about learning in a physical classroom compared to an online learning/virtual classroom. In a well written response of at least one paragraph (5-8 sentences; no more than 1 paragraph) tell which you believe to be the most effective environment for learning: online learning or a physical classroom. You are not listing the pros and cons of each. Your purpose is to tell what form of learning is the most effective.

In Module 1 you've been learning about the importance of communicating a focused and clear idea. This begins with a strong topic sentence that is followed by sentences that support the topic.

Avoid beginning your paragraph with statements such as "I believe...I think...In my opinion..." It is more effective to begin with statements that state the argument, such as "Online learning is not good for students," and "Learning in a physical classroom is the best way to learn," or "Online learning is the best form of learning." These are weak examples, but you get the idea. You are expected to be more creative with your topic sentences.

Use correct capitalization, punctuation, spelling, and grammar. Do not worry about indenting your paragraph or double spacing. Schoology will not allow you to do this.
