knowledge (Arkorful & Abaidoo, 2015). The virtual learning made it possible to connect ideas even worldwide because of social media or internet. Hence the main purpose of VL is knowledge development that is very relevant in the classroom or even off campus like independent learning at home. If the teacher is not available during the class or the students, the teacher can send the instructional materials and can learn and interact with each other. These are some sources needed for both teachers and students to gain access information globally. In education VL is important. Some of the pedagogical functions of the virtual-learning environment are reflected by the researchers and defined it accordingly. It was mentioned from …show more content…
Researchers that identify barriers to VL include the difficulty of the teachers in using VL. The selectivity in ICT uses and read-only participants. Also, since there is no face-to-face interaction the lack of trust in personal and institutional was a barrier (Fontainha & Gannon-Leary 2008). Another barrier is the difficulty in implementing the teachers in using VL and technology. Some teachers have lack of knowledge in using and manipulating the technology to apply the VL for students hinders in using it. In the Philippine setting, the issue of lack of facilities which includes the ICT or VL environment is very rampant, especially in the rural and suburban areas. Aside from the insufficient funding and lack of resources. The major barrier or challenges for the teachers also is the alignment of the concept in the lesson to the type of technology which will be used. Aside from identifying the computer technology tools in teaching, the alignment and relevance of the learning activities to the learners were the major problems in implementing virtual learning in the classroom (So & Kim, 2013). Another barriers or disadvantages to using the VL environment is the lack of interaction between the student and
Today, educational institutions are faced with several issues that affect their operations. These issues are maintaining an acceptable budget, competing with others institutions to attract and retain students, and provide students with an outstanding education. All of these issues can be address with the use of a virtual computer laboratory (VCL).

Albeit this may hinder his own argument, Coughlan successfully exposes faults in the opposition, building a more compelling point of view. By using trigger words like “except” and “despite,” the author turns Koller’s arguments around, strengthening his points more. Furthermore, he introduces a benefit of virtual schools: it teaches “more or less everything online.” Coughlan consequently undermines this claim arguing, “but low achievement in these schools, identified by this research, has raised big doubts.” In the introduction, Coughlan also concedes to the “digital glitz” of online schooling. However, he eloquently refutes the preconceived notions about virtual learning with “online learning has failed to match the teacher at the front of the class,” which he goes on to support with evidence from the NSOCS report in the rest of the article. Mentioning the opposition, Coughlin appears erudite about both sides of the argument, and not blindly arguing without considering the relevant
This journal will be useful because it shows that students can have interpersonal relationships with their teachers and their peers in a virtual classroom.
Criticisms of American funeral practices have been made publicly aware since the 1920’s, and actually go back to ancient times in the scope of human’s ceremonies for the dead. Since the first published argument against modern funerals various authors joined the movement publishing their disparagements of customs for the deceased; that in essence contend the grandiosity and lavish displays are merely a social and psychological representation of the monetary opportunity of funerals (DeSpelder & Strickland, 2015, p. 306-307). Even further, regarding the encompassing funeral industry as exploiting grieving loved ones for their financial gains, while disregarding the actual needs of modern society (DeSpelder & Strickland, 2015, p. 307).
Gharib, Zolfaghari, Mojtahedzadeh, Mohammadi, and Gharib (2016) reports that to be successful in e-learning one must have critical thinking abilities to participate in discussions effectively and to engage in focus groups while utilizing resources and depending on instructor's time and guidance. Therefore, well developed and diverse virtual teaching methods provide the results in developing critical thinking as much as in traditional face to face interaction.
The Virtual Field Experience™ (VFE®) session competencies and practices are effectively demonstrated by counselors universal. It’s a video based field of play-by-play reflecting and analysis components of understanding and used for education (Hays, 2016). It’s a strategic way to advance and accelerate professionally, while developing proficiently. VEF has enhanced the interest of the Virtual school of counseling for people to feel at ease, working online with other Individuals in pursuing an education. This virtual field experience has evolved from the counseling practice into other areas of online schooling to keep students align with tech-savvy educated understudies (Hays, 2016).
The job prospects for LVN is expected to grow. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook, Licensed Vocational nurses is projected to grow 12 percent from 2016 to 2026, faster than the average for all occupations. In 2008 recession hit the healthcare sector hard and finding a job was very difficult. There was a survey by the National Student Nurses Association showed 36% of newly licensed graduating in 2011 were not working four months after graduation. Some student can either start working in the hospital or nursing homes, but hospital usually pays higher. And like most professions, salary is often commensurate with experience meaning the more you have, the chance for better Some health
Weaknesses. The virtual reality classroom is created for all the classmates to interact. However, the weakness for this mode of communication is the lack of face-to-face personal interaction. Online-based courses facilitate the
In Lavin, Korte, Davies). The result of the study further pushes the notion of how important it is for school staff to understand the given technology so they can distribute the information effectively to their students. All the technology in the world will be ineffective if the teachers themselves are not passionate of their work. “Technology has the potential to transform the learning environment from passive to active and more subject to the control of the learner.” (qtd. In Lavin, Korte, Davies).
It is crucial that students are not just being educated in only one way. Each child is different; as a result, learning styles should be versatile and open to new strategies. By learning to use technology correctly, teachers are preparing themselves, and the students for the future by developing certain skills that will be essential in the 21st century. Besides developing the students’ technology skills, students will
In this globalization era, the internet or the virtual world has becoming more complicated and has the potential by showing more effective platform of various collaborative activities which includes academic and education purposes. The intention and the desire regarding the uses of internet world are all about the uses of the internet.
Education is one of the most important professions in the working world. Technology has done many things for us in today’s society especially for education and schools. Technology in the school system has impacted the students and teachers in many positive ways, including virtual field trips, testing tips, teacher resources, class web sites, and lesson plans. With computer use in our schools, we have access to many different sources and various types of learning.
Agreeing with Littlemore and Oakey (2004), we founds that teachers are sometimes overwhelmed by the technology and "do not seriously think about how it might be usefully applied" (Davies, 2009). Indeed, language learning and teaching approach should be pedagogy-driven and learning-based, which is more rigid and emphasises on the needs of learners with the aid of technology resource and tools. Contrarily, technology-driven approach which attempts to formulate a pedagogy based on the cutting edge advantages of a new device, should be abandoned. If a language teaching or learning project is driven by the fashionable technology, it might pose the danger to the learners as well as the teachers disappearing over the horizon of SLA pedagogy.
Technology also provides new resources for learning the overcome distance and time. The addition of this valuable tool, technology into our education system is a slow process, that one single idea of how to use technology in education, that one soon becomes noted as a meaningful addition and so more curriculum.
