Final Assignment-First Blog Entry for term 3(My reflections on E-Learning)

Due to the current H1N1 pandemic,a Home Learning Programme was decided by the school commmitte and we as students,stayed at home for 1 week,doing assignements online.I could not complete several of the Language Arts assignments in 1 hour.Overall,I put in more hours on E-Learning than if I had attended school,including the rest of the subjects where lesson were conducted online.In the 6 Language assignments that were assigned to us for E Learning,I preferred IT Lesson 2 the most and I do not really have any other assignments which I liked the least.I feel that IT Lesson 2 is a very useful assignment to all of us students as writing about our favourite poet is a new refreshing topic and it allows us to ponder on the poet's personality, which allows us to broaden our knowledge horizon and also allow us to take a dive into the world of imagination.We would be able to picture a person's personality by analysisng previous poems and it would prove to be an extremely useful lifeskill in the future as it can be applied in University examinations and important job interviews.We would learn how to look at people from different walks of life at a bigger perspective and sets us thinking,thus,allowing us to think out of the box.In this process,we would also be able to learn important morales such as "Do not judge a book by its cover" which would prove extremal useful to us when we grow up.My suggestions to make E Learning a more condusive environment for students is to increase teacher-student interaction.This would not only allow us to understand brand new concepts but also have a main idea of what is critical,which are the main points to look out for.This would also prepare us for our return to school,thus killing two birds with one stone.Overall,I felt that the E-Learning week went on smoothly as students were able to work in condusive environment and through E learning,we acquired new skills and became more independent and of course the best advantage which probably applies to teachers too would be:Less hassle in the morning,getting more sleep.
