Online Vs. Traditional Learning

School boards should allow students to use technology in the classroom because of the convenance it brings to students and teachers on a daily bases. Not only is online learning more favorable for the students but it is for the teachers as well. La Vonne Fedynich finds that, “faculty teaching the hybrid courses noted more flexibility, interaction and communication with their students” (3). Having online classes gives students more flexibility with their time making it easier for their own schedule. Teachers also find that teaching hybrid classes they receive more interaction from their students which means there is less time spent in the classroom doing nothing. Communication is key and with online resources it is easier for students and teachers to stay connected with each other. This helps by giving students the ability to

Using technology in education can be beneficial for students in that it allows for their educations to be individualized. What this means is that, through technology, students can take charge of their own learning by finding out which learning method works best for them and using it to better their learning experience. In a traditional classroom, something like this would not have been entirely possible. A traditional classroom teacher simply stands in front of the students and teaches them in the same way. In the world of education,

Schools have not always been filled with electronic devices as they are today, and believe it or not, all school work was done with books, papers, and pencils. Students in the past had to work hard to do their assignments, and they had to think more about what they were doing. In today's schools, teachers, and students, do most work on electronic devices, with online resources, which is not real teaching or learning. Students need to have hands on learning, instead of learning everything from screens in front of them. While everyday life is also adapting to the use of technology, students should be taught how to go about their lives without it. The excessive use of technology in schools is leading to less creativity in students, less social interaction, and too much dependency on technology for simple things, which will make the real world a difficult place in the long run.

In a review of the literature, recurrent ideas appeared in the research articles reviewed. These ideas include technology as part of education has a conclusive and encouraging impact on students, students demonstrated a greater level of learning and expanded productivity with the use of technology. Both educationalists and students felt technology added significance to their learning experiences. The addition of online education was cost effective as well as advantageous to the learning process. Technology caused teachers to be better teachers. Because of the wealth of information previously only available to students at a prestigious university, teachers are required to keep their assignments relative and backed by this knowledge. Students can out research the teacher on many occasions and

Many students have a difficult time choosing between online education and traditional education. Both styles of education offer advantages and disadvantages to the student. There are many things to consider when making this life altering decision, such as, cost, convenience, time, social interaction, and technology. This information is meant to inform prospective students looking to further their education of the pros and cons of both online education and traditional education. Taking the steps to further your education is a big decision and one that should not be taken lightly. One should weigh all of his/her options and be well informed and certain of their choice before taking that leap.

Many classrooms across the country are immersed with technology. Technology is used in a plethora of ways in today’s classrooms. The widespread use of technology in classroom instruction dates back to universities trickling down to pre-schools. When technology exists daily in the classroom; strategies are endless when dealing with classroom management. According to Khatib, (2014) “the use of the Internet as a tool for technology-enhanced instruction has educators rethinking the way of instruction is administered to students”. When students are learning via Internet as in distant learning this can eliminate any classroom management problems that may exist in a traditional classroom setting.

The topic I have chosen to focus on for my final project is Online Learning vs Traditional Learning

In the 2011 New York Times article titled, “In classroom of the future,” the writer Richtel explains the benefits of technology in classrooms. According to the article, the author described the learning patterns of students improving in various ways by acquiring the skills that are necessary to understand how to use gadgets. Some individuals may argue that a technology based environment could wrongly impact a student's social skills however based on the New York Times article classes that take place on the internet can positively benefit students who are introverts who feel isolated in the traditional classroom. The examples of how students can benefit from an online school are learning how to utilize gadgets, improving learning

I chose to discuss Online Learning vs. Traditional Learning for this final project. Since 1999, the debate on the differences and similarities between traditional and online learning has been ongoing. Notably, this was the time when institutes began to use internet as a way of conveying distant education. Despite the differences that are there, it is worth noting that they are being narrowed down since technology is emerging prevalently. These facts beg the question; how do the two learning formats differ and what can one expect during transition to eLearning? Before seeking answers to this question, it is worth mentioning that I chose this topic because even though I am currently taking online classes, I wanted to research and learn more about the different benefits of online learning. Also, I am interested in researching on the major differences between online learning and traditional learning.

Nearly 20 years ago when the World Wide Web was released, many people in society had no idea what type of advances were in store for the technological world. Endless opportunities became available worldwide in every avenue of approach, one of those being education. Education has blossomed in the light of technology and will only continue to do so for many generations to come. Although it can be argued that technology is negatively effecting the education system, more innovative ways of learning are becoming available and society has no choice but to conform to these advances.

Some say that a computer can generate better information tailored to a student's’ need, but being too reliant on computers takes away writing, which helps students remember information better. Students are also more successful with a real teacher to guide them and there is a bigger commitment to learning in a real classroom. Next, online school isn’t worth it because of the unfocused environment, lack of professional supplies, and all of the technological upgrading that would be needed, even though the day to day cost of online school would be cheaper. Finally, in an online school a student may learn different unique skills, but it would still ruin essential school survival skills, starting with writing, social skills, and time management. Overall, an online school is not worth it. Traditional face to face learning or traditional face to face learning with components of technology is a much better option because of the diversity and social interaction people provide. This is why John F. Kennedy is right. “Man is still the most extraordinary computer of all.” The image of students not having to leave the house to go to school, is not an image that belongs in a futuristic movie any more. It is something happening in right now, but it is something that should be changed so that every child can have the best

When deciding to take college courses there are many choices you have to make. One of the more important choices is where you plan to take your classes. Online classes are becoming increasingly popular because they can be easier to fit into a busy schedule, but some people still argue that nothing beats a traditional classroom setting. Having the option of online classes makes continuing an education more appealing to people that have to balance many other responsibilities like family, jobs, etc.

In today’s technological age, there are many choices for Americans of all ages to attend college. A student may choose to attend a traditional college or to continue their education through one of the many online programs available. Both online and traditional educations offer a quality education to students, but differ in financial needs, scheduling flexibility, learning styles and career choice. Any person looking to further their education needs to do extensive research to determine

Nowadays, education is becoming one of the fundamental things in a human lifetime; most people are trying to achieve a higher education. As technology develops considerably, it has bearings on every area of our life, even in the way of education. The development of technology has a large impact on education. Before this progression of technology, the education system was only traditional. Currently, the education system has been changed. The development of technology has allowed the education system online along with traditionally. Traditional and online instructions are both great ways to learn. While both types of instructions have the same purpose of educating students having good skills about everything, but there are some significant differences between them such as flexibility, learning the course content, communication, and the cost.

Successful societies have been made of many critical elements. One of the critical elements that found a strong society is education. Education is a factor that has been evolving with our ever-changing society. One of the most recent evolutions of education is the emergence of online education. Online education is defined as the ability for students to take classes that they would normally take in an in-class setting, online. The only significantly different factor about online classes and a nominal class setting is the meeting time. Students that are enrolled in an online class “have access to the same course content and instruction that is available to students on campus”. Online education has a history that could be dated back to the
