Go to the Head of the Class How to use the Internet for learning and fun
I drove during rush hour and left more than enough time to reach the city because parking spaces were scarce. After working a full day I was tired and hungry (I ate when I got home after class). Fighting the traffic to get to class and searching for a parking space were so exhausting that it is amazing that I passed that class!
Fast forward a few years. Now all sorts of classes are given by phone and over the web. The convenience is unbelievable. No more searching for parking, worrying about the weather, and thinking about an empty stomach rather than concentrating on the learning.
Today I can set myself up with my computer and telephone, bring along my sandwich and soda and listen, talk, and learn. E-learning also known as distance learning is simple, cost effective, and fun! And the choices are endless.
Search the web and you will find e-books, e-courses, teleclasses and downloadable recorded material on all sorts of topics. I could now enroll in my accounting class at the site KaplanUniversity.com and take the course for credit. Some sites even offer degreed programs.
In my journey investigating what was available I signed up for a teleclass. A teleclass is a class given by telephone, where everyone is connected to the leader of the class and to the other participants. The particular class I signed up for was free so the only cost I incurred was a long distance charge on my phone bill. Of course there are many classes for which you pay but the fee is usually low. I saw several for $19.
Since I am interested in business topics, the class I chose was called The Powered-Up Practice: Building Your Rolodex and was listed by Coachville.com. The class was an hour long. The two leaders had many wonderful tips on the ways to improve networking so that you can create more really meaningful business connections.
Sometimes the scheduled time for the teleclass does not fit your schedule. Often the leader will record the call and then provide the audio for sale on his/her website. It is interesting to peruse some sites to see what is available.
Have you been so busy at work that you haven’t had time to take that course that you want? You are not alone. Our busy lives today make it difficult to schedule a class. Now there is a way to keep up to date, learn something that’s fun, and do it in the evening, on weekends or on a day off. Whatever your interest you can probably find a class on it somewhere on the Internet.

Several years ago when I was preparing to start my own business I decided to take an accounting class. I took the course at a local college. Each week I set out for the school which was in a nearby city after working a full day.
I drove during rush hour and left more than enough time to reach the city because parking spaces were scarce. After working a full day I was tired and hungry (I ate when I got home after class). Fighting the traffic to get to class and searching for a parking space were so exhausting that it is amazing that I passed that class!
