Good and bad things on presential and online classes!!!

Internet has become a global tool available for the majority of people and very useful in many areas; in particular,  the constant development of technology and the use of Internet have become a strong  influence in education. Nowadays, teachers can assign online homework, quizzes, forums, etc, and use different web programs  to assess their students. Also, students have different opportunities to study online schedule or take a course via online,

Advantages of  Online Classes:

I consider that there is more flexibility when you take an online course, because students who work or don´t have the opportunity to study a normal course because their responsibilities, they can take a online course according their schedules, while in a normal course is impossible. Also, Students save more money because they don´t have to travel or eat outside. Furthermore, Students can learn more about the use of technology, they can learn how to use innovate tools through develop their activities, homework, etc. In addition, students can develop their skills: listening, reading, writing and speaking. Also, their learning styles, for example, the use of videos and pictures are very useful for visual learners. 

Disadvantages of Online Classes:

- Students don´t have the opportunity to socialize with others, it´s very important because in many cases, students have doubts, questions; in some cases, the online class could be open to questions about a certain topic at the moment , but if students don´t know how to use a tool could be a big problem in these special cases. Also, there is not any relation or communication between teachers and students, so imagine that there is a problem regarding to grades or other important aspects that students can´t discuss.

-Students need a computer and access to Internet.

-Students don´t have the opportunity to practice speaking skill with someone else, so there is not exist the proper communication and interaction with other which is an important aspect to take into account.

Advantage of Presential Classes:

-Students can talk with teachers and classmates, when the students have doubts and questions

they can ask  immediately to the teacher at the moment and students understand better  

because the teacher is there. Also, student can interact with other classmates and practice 

speaking. 

-I consider  that one of the best advantages is that when students make presentations they  

have the opportunity to develop themselves, because they are explaining the topic to the public, 

so they lose the fear of being in front of others. 

- Attending classes, students are able to face different problems so they can face future 

problems in a job, due to this, the experience in socialize between them in real life is so 

important for future events.

Disadvantage of Presential Classes:

-Students have to travel a lot of time in some cases, spend money in food, copies, etc.

-Students have to assist to the school according to the schedules of classes already 

established, there is not flexibility to change the schedule.

- The concentration is more difficult to achieve than in an online course.

-Sometimes students cannot attend to classes because a familiar or personal problem, illness, 

accidents, weather, etc; however, all these aspects can affect students, because some schools 

have rules regarding to attendance.

Given these facts, It could say that there are benefits as disadvantages in both of them, 

students have the opportunity to decide what is the best option for them to take a course 

that could be presential or online.
