Blogging, wiki, Internet vs Conventional education

Sometimes....I feel so sorry about people that do not have the opportunity to understand and use computers and Internet.

In my opinion, conventional education should embed the use of Internet tools and change the way of teaching young people. It is wrong totally to deny going to school, having classes and engagements. The school gives directions and orientation, social contacts and environment. It is a part of the real life and it could not be exchanged with that virtual in the Internet.

Could you say that you have been to a particular place only by having watched some pictures or Million pictures of that place? I don’t think so.

Many examples like that above could be given.

I think that blended learning is the best way to combine collecting knowledge using the tools of the new technologies and the well known and working pedagogical approaches in the classroom.
