Online Learning the New Normal
The integration of technology has given the opportunity for students to now access learning beyond the classroom setting. Online teaching and learning provides students with a choice in their instructional delivery method. Prior to the 1980s online learning was not attractive or accessible. In fact, most feared this new way of learning.
Online learning is becoming one of the most sought after method to learning. Younger students prefer: easy to access learning, convenience, and how it is less expensive than the traditional classroom setting for learning. The traditional classroom no longer satisfies or will meet the needs of students who are employed full-time, busy, or those who travel extensively.
Creating ways to learning in a non-traditional setting has change the world of teaching and learning. I strongly believe that there will soon be a thrust to pursue this learning method in the elementary and secondary sector. That's right, online learning will soon replace the traditional elementary and high school classroom method for instruction.
Online learning is the answer for those who can no longer access or choose to no longer access instruction the traditional way. Briefly share, your point of view as it relates to the pros and cons of online teaching and learning? Is online learning the new normal?
