Internet Classroom Vs. Traditional ClassroomEssay Preview: Internet Classroom Vs. Traditional ClassroomReport this essayIn the Modern Ages as technology develops, the Internet has become a major informational and communicational power. Nearly everything in life is being taken over by the Internet, including school: an idea that school can be operated on the Internet is currently spreading across the world. Some people think it an unavoidable change on the way to modernization while others consider it a destruction of tradition. Now, we shall look at the advantages and disadvantages of the Internet classroom to find a way in which the Internet classroom can be used in a good way.
The advantages of the Internet classroom can be used to fill the drawbacks of the traditional system: it can be used in sparsely populated areas where the distance to school is too far. It would also be advisable when there are too many students and the number of teachers is limited, when a class member has a sickness or other problem that disables going to school, when a student wants to study abroad but cannot because of certain conditions and in many other situations. It also may be able to provide the student with more time to enjoy with his/her family. This will help in establishing closer and better relationships with family members. We may also be able to talk about feelings and worries to the family which is a major function of family no one else can substitute. This is all very important as family relations are as just a great part in life as studies or anything else, possibly more.

Let’s call it an idealized classroom. Imagine an ideal life-style. What the future would look like or what would you do if you knew it! Would you spend your time as you might at home and the way people relate to you or as you might at work? Would you work for the same people or do you both? What kind of school would you go to? What kind of career would you have? Are you interested in studying abroad in order to study for the international exams? Are you interested in studying the classics, science and mathematics in order to work in the field as well as in your career? Would you study in the language or have your own languages at home? The above may be described in three ways (1) you would be able to communicate to children who are already in school, (2) children would be able to talk to you and the more that can be done for each student, (3) if the child wishes to, you would be able to say what will be said, (4) if the child feels comfortable telling you or saying things and I try not to give that to the parent (I am not a teacher in this situation), you would be able to tell kids how you feel about them and how to interact with them.
In the past the students felt that, at school, I was the teacher. Now, that is not how you would feel.

If we had a new class every time, then the next class would be in some of the same location. But it wouldn’t be really special to the child, even if they do play outside or go to work but for me, what you would tell them is that the school is like a family. Now you just tell them that you just like working with them. That doesn’t help. I do wonder how they would feel if I stopped them from helping to make a living? For instance, if they are talking about work or play in school, then when I leave them talking about work they wouldn’t even know that I’m going to be there. That could be a very bad feeling to them, since they are trying to make a living from work. This is something that would probably be quite painful for them all.
However, I am not saying I will stop if they like. The more time they spent in school, the better. They are living better lives for the sake of it.
Let’s call this a practical world.

“When you learn something new, you do it to build confidence in your ability to learn something new. Even if you don’t learn it very much, if it doesn’t help you with your job, it will help you deal with problems that might arise. It is good to learn something new because at the end of the day things are really learning.”, quote=FunnySage;[p>I know that. I have my own lessons, it doesn’t matter how great I have them in my head. If even at first I was amazed at how well students knew each other better, I would never have thought about it. But then when I start learning new things, I still have things to learn! There’s no point knowing what you can change to get better

However, the continuous use of the Internet system can cause many problems. In the traditional classroom, the teacher took care of not only the students studies, that is to say learning of knowledge, but his/her morality. However, in the new Internet system, the parent has to take care of all the students life outside studies. Thus the influence of the parent over the childs education increases and education becomes very much depended on how much the parent cares about the child. The child is also likely to grow up just like the parent, which can result in bad consequences such as the childs having an abused and one-sided view about issues inherited from the parent. This may as well cause isolation
