Virtual reality, one of the topic for this week was highly debated, among the different opinions, I think the majority of the class seem to agree on the fact that nothing can substitute physical schools. Like I said on my original post, virtual school is all about money. I am not disputing the fact that a student may benefit from a couple of classes virtually, but not like a substitute for going to class physically. It would be nice for a student recuperating from an illness and unable to attend school.
Twitting is not me, we are already bombarded with blogs, I do not want to bother myself with more. When I become a teacher, I will unequivocally use educational blogs , mediums like that will help me with instruction and will be glad to do so. I would like to conclude by mentioning the report that twitting does not even help reducing teachers' isolation as some have claimed it doing. Let us not give up on all our old ways, some of them are still useful even in the day of technology.
Pick up the phone- go visit a friend.
Agree that a mix of technology and good old face to face contact is best.
