Online learning vs. classroom learning. We have all experienced both and have our opinions of both. However, I think that all of us can agree we would much rather be in school right now and to be in class. I had never realized just how hard this online school would be until we started.
Online school can be difficult as far as communicating with teachers and asking questions. It’s much easier to go up to the teacher and ask them a question at school than it is to communicate via email or Zoom. When you don’t understand something or something is wrong on the computer or there is something wrong with technology, it is simply easier to resort to good old-fashioned verbal communication. It’s very difficult for a teacher, librarian or technologist to understand what your problem is when sometimes you don’t even understand it yourself. I also find it annoying that we don’t get to communicate much with our classmates, through group projects or group work.
Being in class is way different, easier, and a much better way of learning.You can communicate with your classmates and teachers way easier, like a human. You are able to get more opportunities for learning by being in class. Even though we have to wake up early and it’s a long day, we still get the opportunities to socialize and get the right way of learning. Not only does it make it a better way of learning for classes, but you get to do all the fun activities that go along with school. Every athlete gets to practice and go to games and do what they do best. I never saw this coming, and never thought I would have to experience online learning.
