American students actually live on-line. They use
their laptops, iPods, cell phones, PC and other devices in their everyday life
and study. It is difficult to imagine modern students without Internet.
How about other countries with fewer
opportunities? I think it is a big problem for modern students in other
countries.
Recently I have got a message from Moldova.
My friend wrote me that in their school no teacher for computer’s classes. The
high school students don’t have any opportunity to study computer.
Of course, the students in that school
don’t know anything about computer, Internet, Websites, Web resource.
Unfortunately, they wouldn’t be able to study on-line. In this way, the
students of high school in Moldova (Grigoriopol school #1) don’t know anything
about on-line education. Could teacher explain them what on-line education is?
Of course, it is not modern education.
I live in America for 6 years and I see the
big difference between education in Moldova and in America.
Almost all classes in Pima Community
College use on-line education. The teachers and the instructors use computer
and Internet for homework, testing online, discussion on-line, syllabus on-line
and so on.
The great role in the process of education
belongs to D2Learn. The students can work and study. Classes of D2Learn save the time for
studying. You can learn from the distance. You can watch educational movie,
analyze it, take part in discussion on-line, read the instruction and ask
question to the instructor. So you can be in the process and you can schedule
your time for learning.
If you are not a student and work
full-time, you could continue your education when you are familiar with
computer and Internet. News, movies, new
products, new literature advertising and reading - everything you can find in
the Internet.
Unfortunately, the students in some school
of Moldova don’t know the computer and Internet. I see a big difference in
educational opportunities. Here is a big gaps in education.
