No more school?!!?!?
Our assignment this week was to read a very interesting post and reflect on the topic. The question was…
What are the things that you think are so essential in the classroom that they can’t be outsourced to a virtual space? A lot of people had very different opinions on this topic. It is a topic that is currently being debated a lot by teachers and professionals. How do you feel about this topic? Anyway, this was the comment I left for the writer of the post:
In my opinion, there isn’t much you can not do with the computer. You can communicate, collaborate, research, and be a productive student. Most kids I know already spend a lot of time on the computer playing games or talking to friends. Why not incorperate learning into the time they spend on the computer? Learning on the computer is much more productive than spending eight or nine hours in school. The one thing you don’t get from the computer is social skills. But,learing on the computer would take less time then school, and allow students to spend more time with their friends.
