Children of the twenty-first century technological world will chafe if the pace of the audio-centered traditional classroom is slow or the task unimaginative. Heck, we all will. Essentially, effective learning requires both engagement and excitement on the part of the learner. This can occur equally in the classroom and in online learning, it depends on the skill of the teacher or the demands of the programme. Still, online learning can never replace the benefits of the live and direct interaction of two human beings. So the conclusion then is that we can combine and adapt both. Infuse technology as well as excitement into the traditional classroom, and use online learning to speed up and support face to face interaction. There you get the best of both worlds.
