BLENDED LEARNING
Blended learning is generally applied to
the practice of using both online and in-person learning experiences when
teaching students. In a blended-learning course, for example, students might
attend a class taught by a teacher in a traditional classroom setting, while
also independently completing online components of the course outside of the
classroom and also called hybrid learning and mixed-mode
learning, blended-learning experiences may vary
widely in design and execution from school to school.
Blended learning does not
mean that computers in front of the student. Rather, blended learning is the
intentional integration of online and in-person education to expand learning
opportunities for students. As necessary as technology is, the real secret
to effective blended instruction remains the same as any other classroom: It’s
all about the people. Teachers and principals told us that the key to a
successful blended learning program isn’t just in choosing software (although
selecting excellent online content is criticalties. The role of the teacher is no longer
one-size-fits-all, so recruitment and selection must adapt. The way we
develop and evaluate teachers must reflect the shifts in what teachers are
expected to do. In a blended context, teachers need to exhibit many of the same
skills we would expect in a traditional school model. But there are a number of
behaviors and skills that are heightened, like effective planning and
collaboration with colleagues.
The advantages
of blended learning
·
Less expensive to deliver,
affordable and saves time.
·
Flexibility in terms of
availability- anytime anywhere. In other words, e-learning enables the
student to access the materials from anywhere at any time.
·
Access to global resources and
materials that meet students’ level of knowledge and interest.
·
Self-pacing for slow or quick
learners reduces stress and increases satisfaction and
retention.
·
E-learning allows more affective
interaction between the learners and their instructors
through the use of emails, discussion boards and chat room.
·
Learners have the ability to track
their progress.
·
Learners can also learn through a
variety of activities that apply to many different learning styles that learners
have.
·
It helps the learners develop knowledge of
using the latest technologies and the Internet.
·
The e-learning could improve the quality
of teaching and learning as it supports the face-to-face teaching approaches.
The disadventages of blended learning:
·
Lack of a firm framework to encourage students to
learn.
·
A high level of self-discipline or
self-direct is required, learners with low motivation or bad study habits may
fall behind.
·
Absence of a learning atmosphere in
e-learning systems.
·
The distance-learning format minimizes the
level of contact, e-learning lacks interpersonal and direct interaction
among students and teachers.
·
When compared to the face-to-face
learning, the learning process is less efficient.

GLOBAL EDUCATION NETWORK
New technologies and telecommunications networks have
dramatically transformed all facets of life, from medicine to agriculture,
entertainment to politics, and economics to service industries (Milken
Foundation, 1999). This paper examines the opportunities and challenges
associated with technology in the delivery of education worldwide, with a focus
on developing countries. There are profound implications for governments,
educators and students around the world. This is the case for the delivery of
local education in specific countries, and extends to the potential
availability of an American education to millions beyond the borders. The paper
offers some practical suggestions for education policy makers and leaders in
further incorporating technology in global education systems. Increasing global
interdependence and the dismantling of geography as a barrier the information
access have profound implications for future sustainable development.
For students, GEN available delivers anything that can
support their study. Technology supports global education for students'
prosperity to survive in this world. They can get references about materials,
they can begin the journey that will make them the global leaders of tomorrow,
offers opportunities to increase students’ skills, opening the world to
students who do not have the time or resources to travel, creates the
opportunity for students to build an international network of friends and
contacts, so that students can develop business leads, find new job
opportunities, and increase their knowledge of other countries and cultures.
Global Education Network helps students in order to make them be able to
compete in their real life.
Over all, we can conclude that GEN empowers the education
sector. Through GEN, Social interaction build connections for a better world,
develops cooperative relationships based on communications with other
countries, and prepares the world’s future leaders in politics, business, and
education along with our determination, because professional development
related to global educational practices with technology.
