The Space - Learning to Learn Online

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH with Blake Melnick

As a result of the Pandemic parents, students, teachers, and employees, have been forced, out of necessity, to adapt very quickly to learning and working within technology supported virtual environments. This has posed significant challenges for all concerned. It is not simply a technology challenge, but also a design challenge. The traditional ways we think, work and learn are not always adaptable to online environments, nor do they leverage the considerable and distinct benefits of e-learning.
Virtual schools represent the changing face of education in the 21st century, but will they be allowed to realize their true potential?
Virtual schools offer the possibility of the global classroom, democratization of knowledge, student driven learning, robust, authentic curriculum that is constantly being improved upon by each successive group of learners and the knowledge they share with one another. Virtual learning, can remove geographical, socio-economic, cultural barriers as well as address student's unique learning challenges.
The question is, how can this potential be realized in the face of present education and political structures, which hearken back to the Industrial Age?
In this episode of #TheSpace[inbetween] my co-host and I discuss the benefits of e-learning compared with traditional face to face learning. We reached out to parents, teachers and Administrators for their perspective and incorporated results from the recent survey from the #TBSB about students, parents and teachers reactions to learning online during the Pandemic.
