Traditional learningLearning a subject while the teacher is physically present.
Being able to physically interact with other classmates/teacher while working Rapid and quick responses. An everyday schedule of learning and turning in assignments that are due the very next day. The ability to work on class group assignments and then present them in front of everyone for responses. |
Both types of learningBoth types of learning do involve learning from books and finding information.
Helps others learn from one another because of presentations and the involvement of other classmates. The ability to contact teachers or fellow classmates about assignments and help if they need it. Learning something new every time with or without your classmates. Able to get responses and respond to the others around you to help make a point clear on a subject. |
Online learningThe ability to take internet based courses from around the world.
Small class rooms with people of all ages. The ability to have a flexible time schedule between classes. A better way of having more free time to interact with other more important things around you. A great thing is the ability to be open minded with the world and the use of technology because everything is on the computer. Requires a lot of attention because the slightest set back could result in getting left behind in the classroom. Its possible to learn in different languages because most of the people are from around the world. |
Reflection
Ok, so after getting some Intel, and placing some facts in their place, I was able to see which style of learning/teaching would best support the use of our technology today. Some of my classmates shared some really great points. One classmate of mine, who goes by the name of John Paris, shared an interesting point about whether or not online teaching is better than traditional. In most cases some students would prefer the traditional style of teaching because its more face to face and requires a more, physical appearance. "Gives the students and teachers the opportunity to interact with one another right then and there. But on the contrary, either style of learning/teaching can go either way". There's also ways that traditional and online teaching can be linked together. For example, a teacher and a student from the same country can teach an American class their language. The online portion would involve the teacher who is across the world and the traditional part would be the student in the class with other classmates. Both student and teacher could display their knowledge upon the classroom along with answering questions and providing lectures for the class to follow. Their are multiple scenarios that could be taken to link the two learning styles together. Personally, I prefer traditional learning overall because it gives me the chance to be hands on with my teacher and fellow classmates. I can present my work and get rapid responses right away from my teacher and or classmates. It gives me a better edge on completing the task at hand because I have the support from others in the classroom and those taking the same class. Although online learning does seem more flexible and comfortable, it requires tremendous attention to keep a steady pace with others and not fall behind. Unfortunately, I'm dealing with that issue but I'm doing everything I can to keep up with the assignments. Everyone has their own opinion of which style suits them best, mine just happens to be traditional. Special thanks to my classmate John Paris for sharing a vivid point on the two different teachings.
