Myths about Online Learning



Myths about Online Learning

I read this article on above topic. There are many interesting and important details.  I can agree with some details but some are not so. I would like to discuss on several facts.

I agree with the 3rd myth – “It’s put the teacher profession at risk” actually this fact is a myth.

A teacher is a special person who gives knowledge, attitude and skills to the students with dedication. The teacher - student relationship is a valuable human quality. It may influence the student’s life. Online learning does not have such qualities. It is another man made programme to enhance the teaching and learning process.

A teacher who likes to change traditional way of teaching and adapt to modern methods can be a perfect teacher.

Then I would like to comment on 25th myth – “ its does not provide real life experience”

 I feel this fact is not a myth it is true. Class room learning is a real life learning which help to socialize the students. The experiences in a class room may help to develop good qualities such as corporation and helping others. E learning can be boring some programs are in poor quality. E learning cannot be a real life experience it’s an artificial.

TED TALK I listened to an interesting TED TALK done by Jonathan Drori on the beautiful tricks of flower. There are a quarter of a million flowering plants. The duty of the flower is to reproduce their species. Trees need to spread their genes with other genes to make a new plant to adapt to the environment.  For that purpose plants have to spread their pollens to faraway places. Wind is one method to spread pollen but it is not always successful. The insect and the birds are real pollinators. Flowers have many tricks attract them.  The flies, insect birds get nectar. They have nectar as their food, in return they pollinate the plants to reproduce. The birds also have adaptation to suck the nectar with long beaks. Some flowers look like insects to cheat the insects. They are cheated and reach the flower for food but they only get the pollens some flowers are in bright color so, insect can see then clearly. The array of scent emits by some flowers which are bloomed in n...
