Why should students come to class?

This is the comment I left on the Discourse about Discourse blog:

I think learning online is a good idea.  It’s alot better than having to get up everyday and go to school when your tired, and students can get a different experience from learning online. It would save a lot of time. Also, people might think working online is more fun than sitting in a classroom. Even though this is a really good idea, there are some things that go on in class that can’t be done online. Students and teachers wouldn’t be able to interact with eachother, and they wouldn’t really be a class anymore. Also, there wouldn’t be able to be any class discoussions, which help a lot of students.  Teachers and students would have a different realtionship, and some students might not like the idea of that. The class would be dissconnected from eachother. It would also be hard to ask questions and get them answered if you always worked online. 

This is a voicethread about the person i want to be.

Pauline Trigere is a popular fashion designer who was born on November 4, 1912.  She was born in Paris, but moved to the United States in the 1930s and became a citizen of the U.S. in the 1940s.  She didn’t have a husband or a job during the 1940  She really wanted to work in fashion, and now was her chance. She worked for some design houses in New York, and then opened her own shop in 1942. She designed and made 11 different dresses, and her brother showed them to some of the boutiques in the country. They were impressed with her designes, so a number of stores purchased them. By the 1950s, Pauline Trigère’s name was part of Hollywood fashion. Trigère designs had some of the highest prices because they were often made with expensive materials such as real gold or gemstones.  She continued to design clothes for 30 more years and is known for creating the first reversible coat and sleeveless coats.  her signature design is a turtle, and can be found on a lot of her designs.  She died in 2002, but she is still remembered for her fashion.
