Traditional education vs. online education

 

The current pandemic caused our environment and day by day to change, one of those things is education, people changed from going to a school every day, to seeing their teachers through a computer or telephone screen. However, online education and traditional education have pros and cons and it is important to recognize them.

 

First, in traditional education, motivation and discipline can be better in its development, students have a routine and it can helps to keep on task. Another advantage of traditional education is social interaction, students are more involved and participate more in classes, and interact more with their friends. On the other hand, in traditional education, foreigners spend a lot of money to study and for other people the trip to school is very long.

 

Second, in online education there are many pros, the first is flexibility, for students who are working or foreign students, online classes will mold with your schedule—and allow you to log into your online course at a time that works best for you. In this case, the student must be autonomous and responsible and be motivated.

 

In conclusion, some students and teachers think that we do not learn the same in traditional education and in online education, it is important to take in mind that both forms of education are good and both have many strategies to develop and enhance students' knowledge. The important thing is that each student evaluates the two types of education and chooses the best option for her needs when the pandemic ends.

    VIRTUAL EDUCATION VS. TRADITIONAL EDUCATION

    Education is a process which requires effort, dedication and time. In the last year and a half, the global Covid 19 pandemic has notably changed traditional teaching methods and therefore the way we as students learn.
    Little by little we have learned to adapt to online education, however it is essential to know its advantages and disadvantages.

    Although we cannot deny that face-to-face classes are superior in many aspects such as the approach to students, the clarity in how knowledge is imparted, the motivation of young people to go to university and change environments, enjoy the whole process of learn, we have been able to notice all the tools that exist in this new era and we were losing ourselves, all the infinity of games and activities to learn in a more playful way, all the resources and materials that we can find on the internet to make more interesting classes, fun and complete.

    Regarding virtual education, I think that one of the biggest disadvantages is the lack of interaction between teachers and students, even among the students themselves, making classes very boring, monotonous and somewhat distant from that, adding to the multiple distractions that we have in home, but it is undeniable how versatile they can be, no matter where you are, if you are at home, in the gym or even in another city, you only need to have a connection on your cell phone or computer and there you can be.

    In brief, each of these teaching methods have their pros and cons, perhaps this time we had to adapt the hard way since we had no other option but I think we can learn something more from this ... We should always try to value things good that each circumstance brings us, take advantage of each experience in life to be more capable and integral people in all our beautiful process of learning.

  Traditional education vs. online education / Was I prepared for online education? Certainly online education is not something new or recent, we already have seen this model of education in other universities or schools, even we were supposed to be related with this model because we use platforms online in our daily life, but nearly two years later since the beginning of the pandemic, we still struggling to adequate ourselves with this model. At the beginning of the pandemic when we knew that we had to stay in our homes and continue as we can, I had a lot of questions about online education. I used to ask myself, will I be able to work this way? What if I don't have an internet connection? And what about my teachers, will they be able to adapt themselves to this situation? So now, a year and some months later I can say that I prefer a hundred times more traditional education. I think that I understand more face to face, understanding the real situations and in an environment where...

  Traditional education vs. online education Have you ever wondered what the future of education would be like? Have you ever wondered if you are ready to use and take advantage of current technology and the one to come? I have asked myself these and many more questions about the future and about how I am going to deal with everything that involves the use of new technologies in all areas of our life, especially in the educational and labor fields. After the current situation of pandemic, quarantine, and health emergency prevention, it seems that the future that we saw so far ahead was a few years ahead of the present. This situation led to make use of technologies and especially virtuality as the main tool to try to continue with normal work and academic life and make it as bearable as possible. After spending approximately, a year and a half of academic and work virtuality, in many cases, there are quite a few comparisons between before and now; To be more specific, in the ed...
