And how did you like it?
I got my undergrad degree in '06 and since then have been a never-ending disappointment to my parents by not going to grad school. I had vague plans, but I was so unsure about what I wanted to do that I never applied.
Anyways, now I am pretty sure of what I want to do: get my California Teaching Credential (technically this is "post-bachelor's degree coursework" and not actually "earning a graduate degree" but whatev). I work in an elementary classroom and I am really enjoying it. I'm looking at a new program through Cal State called CalStateTEACH. It's new, it's affordable, I'll be able to hold down a job while I do it, plus do student teaching. It seems like a good use of current technology (you can have all your coursework, textbooks, and real-time class stuff on the iPad).
I feel like online will be good for me, because I'm kind of antisocial in the college classes setting. I love learning, reading, and coursework, but I don't like sitting in class, or approaching professors, or studying with peers. I think I'm self-motivated enough as well. Anyone have any experience with online courses, and any smart advice?
