Online (Sex) Education
I always like when Dan Savage reads on This American Life, so I decided to check out his podcast, where he gives advice about love, relationships, and sex. I quickly found while listening that nothing–absolutely nothing–is off limits. A listener might feel put off by the candor of this type of approach. But, I had the exact opposite reaction. Many of the callers are young and confused. They come from backgrounds where they can not receive the type of high-quality–and supportive–education that Savage provides. This–to me–is an example of how an online learning environment can really make a difference in the life of an individual.
