Take advantage of your resources. Knowledge is power. And ya, if you can get a degree for free, that's a plus. There's no such thing as too much education. Take advantage of your resources.

It's not a University of Phoenix type school. So I think most employers or BEd programs would be fine with you taking courses there. Online degrees can be harder because you have to self-motivate to complete your coursework, but there's an article with some tips in my resources box below. The US Department of Education recently conducted a good meta-analysis of online learning studies, and the evidence suggests that online learning is actually MORE effective than regular classroom learning (although a mix of both is best). You can check out a summary of that study in the NY Times article I linked to below. Good luck!

However, part of college is also about interacting with others, debating, etc. I know that online colleges have resources to enable this, but at the end of the day, it's not the same as being in a room with a group of people and really pushing one another to think through the issues. Additionally, online universities don't always have the credibility with employers. They may, but just be prepared for this. Finally, with education, you'll need to do student teaching - will the online college let you do this? If not, then you'll need to do this through another school regardless.

At some point a real PhD program will require you to stop work and concentrate full time on completing the requirements.
