Online Education ?

Throughout the world, online education is fashionable in 21^st century among learners and teachers. Even though it is incredibly convenient for education because of the advantages such as time-saving and home schooling, I suspect that the classrooms teaching will also need for both teachers and the students to get the social surrounding and the motivation to learn and also the assessment.

First of all, if people do online course at home, they are not supposed to go to schools to meet with old friends. And so they will have no opportunity to make friends who have a common with them. And as a result, the computer users for education could feel lonely and lack of chance to discuss and share their ideas with one another. Therefore, they necessitate to study in the friendly environment like classrooms with teachers and classmates in order to avoid these drawbacks

Furthermore, classroom teachers are supposed to motivate the learners to get pleasure and skills in their learning. For example, school teachers are able to use a variety of lively activities to lead the students to be interested in learning and hence they could provide simulations for the apprentices to apply their skills that have learned as theories. Consequently, the learners are actively involved in learning process in the classroom with the purpose of successful learning outcomes.

Another important factor is that the class teachers have no difficulty in assessing their students’ course work. As the continuous assessment or portfolios of students are actually important in their education progress, it is one of the responsibilities of classroom teachers that cannot be processed by computers. In my opinion, the role of classroom teachers will never fade away because humans are social beings and they need the teachers and classroom to motivate, also assess their performance and support with love and care for their personality development that are unworkable with computers.
