This article mainly provided our future instruction styles
with technology and networking with the benefits. This article introduced
education system by Sebastian Thrun, a Google vice president and Stanford
research professor. He talked about his vision of future education. He said he
could never teach in a traditional Stanford classroom. He introduced “Udacity”
in which students can get free online courses taught by teachers in the world. Now,
it grows that schools use “flip” system in which the students study through
videos and complete their homework in their house by class. Additionally,
Charter schools have made a curriculum with the use of game-playing learning
system. Thrun talked about advantages of technology in education. The first
thing is students can take more challenging exercises and quizzes to help
students acquire a skill and/or a concept. The second thing is online
instruction may be free, but it takes little costs for certification and exams.
The third thing is movies can encourage students learn and give fun of learning
for them with low costs. Additionally, the movies can be accessed by people
worldwide with internet.
I think his future education vision may be coming soon in
our future and I will face it as I will be a teacher. Actually, the online
courses can give students lectures taught by great teachers in the world and
help them learn with fun, and pay attention to lectures with visual effects. I
like “Flip” system because it gives students time to prepare for class, figure
out what they will learn in class before class day, and ask teachers and classmates
questions about lessons. It helps them do work with own speed. However, I think
we should teach them on online courses and in classroom because face- to-face
teaching is important to master skills and understand what they learn because
some students at low level need specific, simple, and sophisticated
explanations taught by classroom teachers.
