▶ Your Answer :
Education using the Internet has the pros and the cons. The pros are convenience using the Internet an educational tool. For example, if I lived for at school, I take a lot of time commuting every day. If I used the internet to study, I will save a lot of time commuting to school. And it’s possible to study a lot of students same times. This is because the Internet class doesn’t have certain person. For example, Megastudy which is most famous on-line class company in Korea, can teach thousands of students at the same time. However the on-line class can be cheating and be testing other persons. For example, a lot of student cheat on the test on-line class, they take a test with the tutor, and search the answer using the Google site. In addition, the tutor takes a test instead students. I think that using Internet an educational tool enhances the class, and students must take a test off-line. Off-line school have some reasons which is bad for children and Internet class can chance to learn about knowledge actively, but we must prevent cheating.
First of all, off-line school has some reason which is bad for children. In the article “school is bad for children” John Holt argues that children become passive person in a school this is because they don’t ask question and they accept the adult’s evaluation. Therefore, John Holt suggests abolishing compulsory school attendance and required curriculum. This is because children chance to learn about knowledge directly and to learn each other.
On the other hand, on-line class can chance to learn about knowledge actively. If students were to abolish compulsory school attendance and required curriculum, the students will take a class using internet educational tools. Therefore, students can study to wanting subject, and wanting at any time. This is why students can chance to learn about knowledge actively.
However, we must prevent cheating. A lot of students are cheat at on-line class. In the article, “My class had fallen victim to the latest easy way of writing paper”. (How the web destroys the quality of student’s research papers, Paves Rothenberg). If students had studied using on-line class, students would have been cheating easily, because it is easy to get information on-line class. Therefore, I suggest that student take a test off-line to prevent cheating.
In conclusion, I think that using the internet as an educational tool enhances to the class, and students must take a test off-line. The students study lectures using the Internet educational tool because it is more convenience and to learn actively but we must prevent cheating why students take a test off-line. |
