While there are a few similarities, such as checking emails, discussions and the calendar, there are mainly differences.  This to me is a typical high school student when school is in session.  I work full time, have a part-time business that I run, have 3 very active kids to run around and watch while they participate in their activities.  My school work time is typically in the evenings when everyone is home.  I sit at my kitchen table with headphones on to drown out the noise of my family (all for the cause, lol).  I do think it is important to schedule time and check in to the class throughout the day.  The app on my phone is great to jump in and check grades or assignments if needed.  I would say the life of an adult student is much more difficult than that of the high school students, even though they may not think so.

I think the greatest difference between myself and the online learner is the number of breaks they get in the day. I feel like most days, I don't have enough time to complete everything I need to. As a high school online academy, it is also different from taking online college courses. Often times, those taking online college courses are also working a full-time job, so it can be difficult to make time in the day to complete coursework.

There are many similarities and differences between myself and a Gwinnett Online Campus student. The similarities are following a routine of get up, snack, lunch and go to bed. I make a list of my to-do's. I get up and always check my emails and see if grades are posted. Some differences are no class check-in sessions or meeting with a teacher face-to-face. Most of my online classes are student led and can go at my own pace.

Having an organized daily schedule is most similar to my day. Without a schedule and a specified time to tune into class, I often fall into procrastination mode.
Differences - I don't usually get around to emails until I'm eating lunch. I like to spend my lunch productively, so going through email is usually an easy one to bide my time. I also do not schedule "movement" time. I think that is an important part of focusing - burning restless energy. I have a difficult time scheduling that time for myself.

I think there are basic similarities between the Gwinnett Online Campus learner and myself, but that is where it ends.  We are both online learner.  We have classes we are enrolled in. we both have teachers we can contact if need be.   There may be more than one class each learner is enrolled in, but other than lunch,that is pretty much where it is identical.
I get up at 5 to be out the door by 6 am. No time for email or computers. When I arrive at school I get ready for my day and teach straight through until 12:15. 10 minutes for lunch and then tutoring from 12;30-1:00 back to the class room for a little of my plan period and check emails then and read some of my college lessons sometimes then about 1:30 it is time for choir and teach straight through until 3:45 and then an hour and a half commute home, make dinner, throw in a load of wash, do some college work then off to bed to do it all over again the next day.  Stretch time and break time are few and far between.  It's tough, but I chose to do it this way.  I could have taken 1 class a semester and drug it out for years or 3 classes per semester.
I am an adult and have been for some time, and sometimes find it hard to get the motivation to go and work on classes.
A teenager would have to have far motivation than most of them that I know.  Not impossible, but more work than most teenagers think.

The example schedule isn’t very similar to mine.  I wish my schedule was clear and organized.  I am an adult coming back to school after already having a career and family.  My responsibilities are different than someone who is a young college student.  I wake up in the morning and do check my email.  Get my kids ready and take them to school.  After that my day can go a lot of different directions.  Depends if I substitute teaching that day.  If I am was I called that morning or was it scheduled.  If I am not subbing I like to do as much school work as I can in the morning because I have to pick up my pre-schooler at 11:15 AM.  After that, I spend the day caring for my daughter and doing thing around the house.  I try to fit in school work if possible but is pretty hard.  I pick my son up at 3:15 pm and spend the rest of the day with them.  I try to do some more school work at night after my kids go to bed.  So basically I try to crame as much school work into a couple hours in the morning and night.

The major difference between myself and online learners at Gwinnett Online Campus is that I work full time from 8 am to 6 pm! My online school work happens in the evenings after dinner, from 7 or 8 pm until 9 or 10 pm, and on the weekends, throughout both Saturday and Sunday. Another major difference is that I only have weekly assignments, instead of daily ones. A third major difference is that I don't attend a live instruction. My activity is all self-directed and done using my own time-management skills. Similarities include checking email, logging into coursework to check status of things, responding to teachers and discussion threads, and working independently.

# data[].attributes.body
Similarities:
-Assignments are all assigned by the instructor and  worked on, completed, and submitted by the student online.
-Emails have to be checked and responded by (I do not always have time to check  mine in the morning, I check my emails whenever I have the time .
-I also have to login to get my grades.
-I also make a lists and cross-off when assignments are completed.
-I also logon and respond to discussion threads.
-I contact my instructor as needed.

Differences:
-I can only log on in the evenings and on the weekends since I teach during the day.
- I can logon and work on my assignments on my time frame,  does not always have to logon daily.

# data[].attributes.body
Similarities
Students are still responsible for participating in live conversations to gain insight from others in the classroom.   They still have a schedule that they follow.
They submit assignments.
They collaborate on projects.
Still communicating with the teacher.
Differences
They move through the course at their own pace.
They can choose the times to get up and move around to promote better thinking.
Schedule is based on what works best for them.

The similarity is that there is some sort of structure, but for me that is about where it ends.  As I am sure I am in the same boat as most of you, my classes need to be sandwiched in between my job, family, and other activities.   Schedules and copious lists abound!  Sometimes I think it would be nice to have to check in at a certain time and have a "live" class.  However, then I remember that I get interrupted about every 15 minutes with something and that might not be the best plan for me.

The main similarity I had between my personal learning habits and those listed is checking my email before I get out of bed. Though most of the time I do not respond to emails until I am at a computer. Because I do work full time as a teacher, I often do not have time for my day to be consumed by online learning, rather I spend a few hours overnight completing tasks.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the main differences is that as an adult online learner you class time isn’t so structured. A lot of this has to do with adult learners having many other responsibility, such as family and work on top of class work. Sometimes these other responsibilities come first in scheduling, especially jobs. Adult learners have to schedule their own learning time much more than those students completing elementary and secondary school online. As an adult learner you usually don’t have as much one on one online contact with other students and the professor as students completing high school or even elementary school virtually. When it comes to completing assignments and having discussion boards both types of learning are similar.

# data[].attributes.body
Similarities: You need to have a schedule, check your online class often for assignments, emails, and grades - biggest similarity is being responsible

Differences: Other things to focus on; online learning goes into the evening, k-12 learner has a daily schedule as adult learners have a weekly schedule, I plan out my assignments as a week rather than a day - biggest difference is time

I understand that many online learners here through UNK have different situations, jobs, families, and responsibilities. For me personally, there are quite a few similarities and differences with that online learner at Gwinnett Online Campus. For starters, we both start the day by checking email and creating a schedule for the day. I try to check my UNK email early before leaving for school to make sure I am on track. While reviewing my teaching schedule for the day, I also plug in times that I could sneak in some graduate work (during specials, maybe a lunch period, after tutoring, and so on). As the high school students might experience, most of my work is done at night. The differences are rather large as I am a full time students and full time teacher. If possible I can work on parts of an assignment here and there during the day, but most of my time is spent working with students.

There is certainly some distinct differences between myself and the online learner in the online learning schedule. First, there is a high degree of structure within my daily schedule. I cannot take time out to fold laundry or get fresh air or any number of the other things suggested. Additionally, though I am an adult, my job takes priority over anything else that I do (besides my family), so most online school that I "attend" must be done on the weekends and in the evenings. We are similar in that, theoretically, any online learning needs to cover the same amount of material as in a physical classroom space. This means that an online learner and a physical space learner should be gaining the same insight.

# data[].attributes.body
Similarities:
- Time is scheduled and a plan must be followed.
- To-do lists
- Need to submit assignments on time.
- Participation with teacher and classmates via email or online discussion.
- Classwork is done from comfort of home.

Differences:
- Full day instruction for Gwinnett student (with multiple breaks built into the schedule).
- As adult online learner, work is "chunked" into modules that can completed on more of a weekly basis rather than daily.
- The Gwinnett student has live class sessions.
- The schoolwork is the Gwinnett student's number one priority, whereas most adult online learners have to work around families and full time jobs.

When reading the schedule of an online student, I became quite envious of this "example person". I have taken online classes all throughout undergraduate, as well now as an all-online graduate student. I find similarities in the well-scripted schedule (I write many to-do lists in order to make sure things happen on time). However, this example person only seems to be doing an online course or two, without any additional work or activities to schedule in. I work full-time, which obviously takes up more than my 8:00-3:30 school hours. Along with work, I also take on additional jobs through the school, helping at sporting events and school dances. With my work schedule, I also am a member of a foundation to plan a summer camp for children with Autism. My biggest difference with this example person is the way that I schedule my time to work on schoolwork. I do schoolwork after the school day is over, on the weekends, and just about any free moment that I have to get something done. This example person has the luxury of having an entire day to schedule in and work on all of their classwork.

# data[].attributes.body
Similarities:

-Have to check the course work often

-Learning can be done at home

-Have assignments that need completed by a certain time

-Gwinnett students have to “check in” to their classes

-Gwinnett students have live direct instruction where we have instruction to watch on our own time

-Gwinnett students have a full day of learning every day, and we have learning that needs to be done within a week
