Michelle in MO Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 As a family, we went to the VP Teachers' Training Conference in Lancaster, PA, in 2005. We made a trip out of it--went to Gettysburg, Philadelphia, etc. I enjoyed the time by myself for a few days, attending various lectures and browsing through books. At that time, VP also had their Latin-in-a-Week course, and I think the next year they started the Omnibus-in-a-Week courses. Lately I've been wanting to go to one of these, but I noticed that this year all of the VP conferences are online, including the teacher's training courses. Since I'm getting certified to teach English, I had thought that spending time each summer at the Omnibus courses would be ideal, not only to further acquaint myself with excellent literature, but also to network and meet other educators. Now, I'm not sure whether or not to attempt one of these online. I can see the pros and minuses immediately, the biggest benefit, of course, being that doing the entire course online is much more economical. I know that sessions will be recorded and available online later on, only for those who register. However, I think if I were actually away---really away---I could not only focus better, but have that time to meet other people. Obviously, that won't be an option anymore--at least, not at this time. Has anyone tried one of these classes online before? If so, was it worthwhile?
