Web Based Learning: A Boon or Bane of the Education System

By Danny

The education system has a massive responsibility on its shoulders to cope up with our busy pace. There has to be a feasible educational option and this is where web based learning (which is a component of e-learning) gets functional. In this advanced type of learning, the content is normally delivered through internet and is automatically updated. This educational option can either be self-paced or instructor-led. It includes media in various forms like audio, video, images, text, animations and more recently streaming 2D or 3D videos.

Contribution:

The growing technology has imparted great contribution to the education system through web based learning. The growing minds of children inculcate in developing their skills, knowledge and perceive their world by using the interactivity of this new media.

The idea of web based learning is that education reaches all irrespective of the location, time or capacity issues. Today, students can make wonderful projects, working professionals can take up higher studies without leaving their jobs and challenged children can learn without attending a traditional classroom.

Web Based Learning

Different ways:

However-learning has eclipsed classroom learning in multitudinous ways. It allows anyone to study anything from anywhere. No coercions are applicable. Its major advantage is that the students can follow their own learning pace in consensus with the time and ability they possess rather than running a race like in traditional classrooms. The electronic forum helps the students to interact with their teachers on one-one basis which is an aberrant scenario in traditional teaching methods. The division of material in different modules enables the students to work in their own pace.

The most appreciable part of web based learning is that it does not bind its pupils with a curriculum. It gives immense freedom to learn not just what he needed to but everything related to it. An inquisitive mind knows no confines and with this immensely growing method of learning, it can attain a treasure of knowledge with no time or location constraints. 

Advantage:

A major advantage of web based learning over traditional learning is its cost-effectiveness. While the latter is dependent upon the financial capacity of the parents the former is way aloof of it without the compromise in quality.

In the nut-shell, web based learning, however technologically advanced and superior cannot replace the traditional method of learning. While it is valuable for many students who have restraints remains invaluable for students who meet all the criteria required by traditional teaching. Every educational option whether traditional or modern has its own circumspections. What is needed for the benefit of the society is a perfect amalgamation of both which would eliminate the demerits and flourish the merits of the education system.

Playpen For Your Child’s Safety

By Danny

It is really difficult to look after infants while working or doing any household work; one cannot leave the toddler alone in a room while finishing the work as you never what they might catch hold off or what they might put in their mouth while playing n the floor or they might just fall off from the bed while playing. So it is very important to cautiously handle a toddler and it also important to do all the important work, have a shower, make food, clean the house etc.

So in such a case a play pen is the best option for parents who have toddlers at home but they are not able to keep an eye on them 24/7. A playpen keeps the toddlers safe, gives them an area of their own to play in and also lets you focus on your pending work. It is an enclosed area which is especially made to keep the baby safe without constant supervision. These playpens are made up of wood, plastic or metal frames with a centre floor and sides.  A playpen is best for children who are around six to seven months old as that is the time when most kids start crawling.

Playpen For Your Child

A playpen is considered to be a safe place for toddlers but it is important that while buying a playpen parents should read reviews and advice from other parents and experts. As no matter how safe a place is for a child there are a few precautions parents need to take from their side.

Precautions to be taken

  • Try not to leave the side of the mesh playpen lowered; as an infant can get trapped in the slash of the mesh.
  • Remove the toys that are tied across teh playpen as a child can get entangled in them.
  • When the child grows tall remove all the toys and boxes on which the child can climb and jump over the playpen.
  • Children who are teething can easily bite plastic from the playpen so make sure you keep a check on the mesh surrounding it.
  • Make sure that mesh is free of tears and holes so that the child doesn’t get caught in it.

It is very important for parents to be careful about all these things in order to maintain a safety and protective environment for their child.
