The weekly discussions online helped me to talk things out and solve problems. It not only helped with explanations but they gave me
more time to think and plan.
I had more time to look things up on Google and base my opinions on specific things using what I found along with what
others thought. They also helped me be more open minded..

Reading others’ posts helped contribute to my own ideas and combine them into one. And, they made me
refine my own ideas better.

Reduced Anxiety
“when you’re in a community there is a feeling of comfort that arrives...it is easier to learn when you feel comfortable in your surroundings.”
“I’m a little shy in the classroom but I can read other comments and use theirs as a sample for writing my own.”
“I feel like I talk differently online because I can compose my answers. I knew I wouldn’t sound stupid and it gave me time to edit my thoughts before sharing.”
“If other people are on the site to share views and work, it makes you more comfortable to do the same thing.”
“I could also compose my thoughts and write what I wanted whereas I get flustered or confused in class.”
