When we talk about teaching as well as learning online it is no secret that this new field we are facing comes with new challenges .Since it is natural as we go in some new directions to overcome problems in order to succeed . Being a teacher or either a student in this 20th century era can lead a positive as well as practical life style as it is online learning. Today I want to consider not only the positive but also some negative outcomes that come with it.
First of all, it is no secret that we tend to struggle with technical difficulties since some of the time we don't count on reliable internet connection as well as software or hardware problems that could limit our learning process .
Second and no less important, is the lack of physical interaction that comes with online learning, being able to interact online, means you cannot go to an actual classroom and cannot share with your coworkers, as well as your classmates , so this will lead us facing new illness such as personality disorders like depression and anxiety, also lack of commitment of social behavior.
Last but not least, how to engage our students and teachers to be motivated to be present, participating in and actually understanding the class is challenging . Since it need passion and dedication the secret would be to fall in love in what you are doing and make a commitment.
Moreover online learning is something that has come to stay and we should adapt as well as learn new strategies that can help us as teachers to improve our techniques in education and adapt it to the new learning online era.
Online teaching has its negative sides as you have mentioned Lina yet iT can be engaging and motivating same as face to face classes if the teacher knows how to handle technology in a proper manner that engages and motivates students excluding logistical reasons of course like electricity, wifi and lack of resources that play a big role in the online learning process.
