“Online classes have been one of my favorite parts of my high school experience.”
“Online classes have taught me to open my eyes and work with people I otherwise would not have.”

Blended and online learning courses bridge learning gaps for students. For most students, myself included, the online courses taken are often college courses. This bridges the gap of a college learning experience in high school before graduation. It teaches about deadlines, strict requirements, and responsibility that is needed in college.
The environment of the online courses is in a computer lab with several other students, computers, and a facilitator. The online environment is a very good one. The teacher is always easy to contact and the lessons are neatly organized. I have never been able to focus in a traditional classroom. There are students that are distracting, the pace is either too fast or too slow, and work is often lost or misplaced.
In an online course, I can work at my own pace as long as I meet deadlines, I am never distracted by other students, and all my work is saved on my computer. Online/blended courses are very beneficial.
