The Pros and Cons of Online Learning

In this stage that we are living through the coronavirus, we had to adapt ourselves to the new way of learning and teaching; there are many advantages of online classes but also disadvantages.

Some of the advantages are that we can continue with our school year and continue learning; we have also been able to adapt the timetable to our liking and work at our own pace. But there are also disadvantages. As a student I have lived the situation and I have to say that in face-to-face classes I learn much more than in virtual classes or with the jobs that teachers send online, because in a normal class, the teacher explains it to you better and it is easier to understand.

In conclusion, I think that virtual classes have helped us a lot in this exceptional situation, and we have to thank it because if it weren’t so, we would have missed the school year; but this way of learning, I would leave it alone for situations like this, since it is easier to learn in a normal class than in a virtual one.

 The Pros and Cons of Online Learning:

 Schools have been closed since the quarantine started, so the education now has to be online. In this composition I will discuss the pros and cons of this Online Learning. 
On the one hand, this form of learning has positive things, like having your own schedules for studying, which cause stressing way less than students are used to. Also, sleeping hours are increasing, because most of the students had to sleep about five hours during the course, and now they can organize themselves to have a better rest. 
On the other hand, this Online Learning is not able to replace on-site classes for many reasons. First of all, there is something called the digital gap, which divides pupils in two groups: one that has access to all kind of technologies and other that don’t even have Wifi.
Besides, now that teachers don’t explain because they don’t give any classes, students must be self-sufficient, which in my opinion is harmful at the time of understanding some subjects. 
In short, in my opinion online learning is worse than on-site classes, because not only has it increased the digital gap, but also students don’t understand what they are doing in many occasions, whereas during in-person classes they have someone to explain the subjects.

I totally agree with this video; I think that they give great ideas, but in my experience duringthis quarantine, if you have to go through that amount of different platforms, you could geteasily stressed because you might not know how to use them.

 VIDEO 2:This video is about an important issue: The technology gap; like it says, a lot of studentsaren’t able to connect into their online classes or hang in their homework for example, so I think what they are doing is great for all those students, but they still need help

The Pros and Cons of Online Learning

Online classes are a new experience which due COVID-19 we had to live because the face to face classes were canceled.

On the one hand with the online classes you save time on to move. There is also more time flexibility, since you are the one who sets your own schedules, also, with them you exercise your technological skills since you are in direct contact with the new technologies.

On the other hand, it also has cons, such as the lack of interaction with the teacher and the subsequent difficulty in doing the exercises. Also the amount of work compared to what we do in face-to-face classes or the lack of socialization.

In my opinion, face-to-face classes are better than telematic, I like them more for several reasons, among which are the interaction with your classmates and teachers.

 If I had to choose I would choose the face-to-face.

The Pros and Cons of Online Learning

Online education is increasingly popular with students around the world. Many people think that going to school online is better than having to get up early and go to school in the traditional way. But online education has its advantages and disadvantages.

One advantage of studying online is the flexibility as you can study where you want and how you want. It’s also cheaper since you don’t have to pay for the bus to go, textbooks are cheaper. .. Some of the disadvantages are that the quality of education is lower since you can’t directly ask the teacher about your doubts and some students don’t pay attention to the classes as they can’t keep an eye on them. In my opinion, the traditional education is better than online learning because you can learn more but in some circumstances like now you have no choice but to attend online classes.

Also the learning is highly depend to the individual motivation to learn
