Welcome to the new Classrooms Without Walls. Online learning is the key. This blog focuses on the different aspects that comprise teaching and learning online. I will explore different resources and share my views, for example, are they useful, effective, how well did the teacher do his or her job, were the teaching methods effective, and so on.
So what are some online learning sites? Three popular ones are:
These sites are good for someone who wants to learn something new just for personal enrichment, homeschoolers, and for tutorials or additional material. How much can one learn from online classes whether using a combination of the previously mentioned resources or MOOCs such as Cousera or Kadenze. Could I pass an exam and get college credit? Could I become knowledgeable about a topic I know nothing about, have never taken a course before? I will also evaluate these classes. How well did the teacher do? Were the teaching methods effective? Was the class just a video of the teacher giving a lecture, or did the teacher incorporate technology and take advantage of this medium? Online education is also a great tool for teachers. It provides supplemental materials for the teacher, provide students a different presentation of a topic, and sometimes a bit of variety is needed. In addition to online resources, I’ll also review education-related books. As always, please share your thoughts with me.
