We should cultivate students’ online learning habits
From Lianhe Zaobao 3 July 2009:
In view of the spreading of H1N1, I agree with the writer that we should cultivate students’ online learning habits. However that involves going beyond classroom teaching for teachers as well. Are educators here ready for it?
NECC

From a 15-Year-Old Student: e-Learning is Fun But It’s Useless
From TechXav:
But the main issue is that we don’t really learn much from the materials teachers post online as compared to the traditional way of education for the past few centuries.
Interesting opinion from this popular Singapore young blogger.
Questions:
1. In what ways ‘we don’t really learn much’ from e-Learning besides distraction and bandwidth bottlenecks?
2. In what ways ‘the traditional way of education for the past few centuries’ better besides scoring As after going through it?
I suspect the answers could be found in the way students are assessed over centuries.

Schools closed but lessons are on
From The Straits Times 20 June 2009:
Although it means a lot of work to be done, but personally I quite like this quote from Mr Paul White from ESF:
I don’t see online learning replacing traditional teaching, but supporting it. (H1N1) flu will just help to speed that process.
Speaking of blessing in disguise
