Online universities?

I was just wondering if any of you are currently attending an online university or thinking about it?  I have been looking into the University of Phoenix, but I am not quite sure yet.  How do you feel about online classes or earning a degree online?

I have three kids, our youngest is special needs, and he has tons of appointments, therapies, and early intervention meetings, so attending a regular university doesn't quite fit into my lifestyle right now.  Online classes seem like an excellent option so I can work on them whenever I have a free moment.  I am thinking about getting my bachelor's in psychology from an online university and going on to get my master's in early childhood/special education through our local university which has an online program.

I attend the University of Phoenix and find it to be great!  I have two of my own children and two foster daughters plus I run an in home daycare.  I find it easier to do the online since you do not need to log on everyday.  I would go for it!

Well, I attend online with the University of North Texas, but I am doing a general studies degree, not a teaching degree.  I'm getting my alternative certification meaning my first year of teaching will be on a probationary certificate.  After my first year, I will be considered a real teacher.  I didn't go the University of Phoenix route because when my credits transfered, they only transfered as electives.  I would have to start all over again which is why I went the general studies route.
