Answer 1

【答案】With the development of internet, network classrooms are gaining more and more popularity. Especially at the beginning of this semester Shanghai high school MOOCs platform, officially put into operation, where middle school students in the city can log to browse the course information and choose the courses they are interested in. Will network classrooms replace traditional classrooms?

I don’t think network classrooms will take place of traditional classrooms. Although MOOC has more advantages, such as no time and place restrictions, and the material can be played again. However, students in network classrooms lack direct communications with teachers and their confusion cannot be solved instantly. What’s more traditional classrooms can provide teacher-student interaction that online education cannot provide, and teachers can inspire, encourage and guide students face to face. In addition, the computer system doesn't necessarily work stably all the time.

I think both network classrooms and traditional classrooms are necessary for students. Only when traditional teaching patterns are combined with the modern ones like NOOCs, can more fruitful education be realized.
