Online Teaching and Learning

1. PROS

   • There are a lot of resources online that can help with the different activities from the class
   • In a way is more affordable, because you do not pay for transportation and material
   • It allows you to be flexible when you take your classes, being able to work or do different things in a more flexible time
   • It allows the students to become independent learners
   • Teachers become more creatives and the classes take a new and "fresh" approach

2. CONS

   • Being in front of the computer or TV for a long time can cause health problems in the long term
   • A lot of teachers and schools have not figured out how to adapt their lessons to an online modality
   • There is a lack of social interaction and more in terms of young students who may need it the most
   • Not everyone has accces to internet or has a computer
   • Not all of the students have computer knowledge and for some of them using the different technological tools may be stressfull enough
