Educational Institutes have been closed since March 2020 due to the Covid19 pandemic, and the government has been encouraging online education for academic continuation. Many institutes have made it a smooth going process with the help of online platforms such as zoom, Google meet, Google classrooms, Microsoft teams, etc. Despite these platforms, many of the students, even Teachers, find it a difficult task. These online platforms are well suited to adults.
Learners who are seeking higher education opportunities but it is not that much suited to younger ones. This article brings out the voice of Teachers, students, and their parents and highlights the good, bad, and ugly sides of online education.
The covid19 pandemic has changed everything, even our day-to-day life. Students have changed from physical classrooms to online classrooms, due to which they faced a lot of problems along with some health issues that increase parent's tasks. Not only Students but the teacher has also suffered the same. Using the internet for entertainment purpose is a different thing but using for education is refers as a big husky task. Some teachers are not well-versed with digital content; sometimes, they face difficulty conveying their message or concepts effectively. Sudden expectations from students in these circumstances to upgrade and adapt is might unfair. A parent of a 9-year-old attending a private
School in Noida says" "There should not be online classes for such small kids. They pay attention in class for a, while and after that, they get distracted"." The 9-year-old added," I hate online classes." Even college-going students prefer physical classes as education is not only about the knowledge of subjects; it is about social interactions, skills, etc. This can only be achieved by in-class learning. Many acknowledged that phones could be very distracting while studying from phones. Online Education has a good side also. Online learning is something beyond the norm. Students can have complete information, topics, and subjects that they can access online while online education. A student studying at Delhi University recently said, "This online education is much more flexible than physical classrooms as it is easy for some students living in far or in different states to attend the classes." The students are welcoming the change from strict classes and traveling long distances to attend the classes.
As we mentioned above, a 9-year-old is not comfortable with online classes, and on the other hand, a Delhi University student considers these classes flexible. Through this, we can say that Online Education has a good side, and at the same time, it has shortcomings also. But it is an excellent method of learning for students as it helps in the better development of a student. The critical point is proper time administration that allows students and teachers to manage their time to complete and submit prescribed assignments, concepts, and information in time. Students should take this online education or online classes as an opportunity for their future works as the internet will provide them a wide range of carrier options that will enhance their skills.
