"NO MORE SOCIAL NETWORKING?"

What is social networking?

 A social networking service is an online service, platform, or site that focuses on building and reflecting of social networks or social relations among people, who, for example, share interests and/or activities and people with similar or somewhat similar interests, backgrounds and/or activities make their own communities.

The example of social networking 


  1. Facebook
  2. Twitter
  3. Myspace
  4. netlog
  5. Tagged

    and many more.
 
Why people are too addicted to the social networking ? Is it bring the benefits to you ?
The answer is YES !
What is the benefits of Social Networking ?
  • Social networking is the easiest way to stay in touch with old friends, friends who don't live close to you or even just roommates.
  •  Some social networking sites constantly update news information. This enlightens readers and social networking profile owners.
  •  Having a social networking profile allows users to make and maintain business connections.
  •  Making friends with similar interests and "likes"
However, if you are misused the social network, it will not give you any BENEFITS ! :)

SYNCHROHNOUS vs ASYNCHRONOUS .

 
Asynchronous learning :
student-centered teaching method that uses online learning resources 





Synchronous learning:  
group of people learning the same things at the same time in the same place.

 




ADVANTAGE OF SYNCHRONOUS LEARNING

-
get immediate feedback and detailed collaboration both with instructors and fellow students.
-  allows students to gain confidence and pride in their work


ADVANTAGE OF ASYNCHRONOUS LEARNING
freedom to the student to access the information and materials at any time they choose and from any location with an Internet connection
- Save time and the distance is not the barrier for the student to contact with the instructor


SCENARIO
What happened if college/universities use the ASYNCHRONOUS LEARNING method only? Is it give any DISADVANTAGE to the student?

E-Learning or Virtual Learning ?

what type of learning more effective ?
E-LEARNING?
or
VIRTUAL LEARNING?

If I can choose, I prefer to use ELECTRONIC LEARNING or E-LEARNING rather than using VIRTUAL LEARNING environment. In my opinion, this type of learning not only gives the BENEFITS to the students, but also to the INSTRUCTOR or LECTURER. But how?

  1. I believe that many student will get sleepy when the LECTURER or INSTRUCTOR ask them to open the text book. Am I right? But .....by using E-Learning, the method of teaching become more interactive. So, it indirectly can attract the student to learn !

  2. The lecturers also can get MORE AND MORE INFORMATION from the net! So, they can varying the ideas when they are teaching !

  3. Interaction between students and lecturers become more appropriate. When students are sharing their problems with teachers, since it’s not face to face they fear less and can ask their problems freely. For example, the student can ask or discuss about their problem through the Instant Messaging (IM) with their lecturers !


However, E-learning also has its own benefits and limitations ..as well as pros and cons ! So, all you need to do is ..USE IT WISELY :)

SCENARIO

have you involve in any one of this type of learning (e-learning and virtual learning) and which type of learning do you prefer ?
