A lot of people want to realize their dreams to have a better life when they grow older. However, this endeavor requires hard work to be able to achieve and one of the possible ways to reach that dream is having a good education. Luckily, education has become easy to obtain now a days because of the new ways of learning in school. As long as students have all those electronics and high technical computers, they can access their school programs anywhere and anytime they want.

Now-a-days, even the busiest persons can find time to do school and acquire the education that fits them. Thanks to the invention and introduction of new and modern technology which help students to study anywhere they go and whatever situation they are in. It does not matter if you have kids, have full time jobs, or both. Old students and future aspiring students can find the right class by just using their phones and lap tops or computers wherever they are. Computers provide a very helpful tool in education not only for enrollment but most of all to use for research through internet access.

In our modern world, class is not limited to traditional in-class learning. There are others newly introduced technology in teaching and learning. Today there arethree types of delivery of instruction for the students based on their choices and availability to do it. Schools are offering online, hybrid, and traditional face-to-face in-class instructions.

Let's talk about getting education by taking online classes. A lot of people always say that they don't have the time to go to a traditional school because they have to work to be able make money for their family to live. Between making a living at the moment and getting a degree, it is very difficult to choose the first without sacrificing anything. With the online learning opportunities, learning, understanding, and passing are now possible despite your location and situation. It also reduces costs and gives you more time to do other things while doing school. This is absolutely a smart way to get your diploma while you are at home taking care of your kids or working days or nights. Online schooling gives students the flexibility to learn during their own free time. It is likewise cheaper and does not require that much time because you are not going somewhere anymore to go to school. Students can stay home to do the program any time of the day.

On the pros and cons, there are some issues about socialization. Some say that doing online classes will cause the students to miss the opportunity to make friends and do study groups because there's no face to face interaction with people. On the other hand, modern technology made it possible to interact through emails and social media. Students who need help with their homework, have some questions, or need to do a group work can always use email and social media to reach out for other students and the professors. Positive and immediate response can be achieved through these ways without leaving the comfort of your houses and without sacrificing your job and family. We must take note that these online classes are backed-up by online materials and technical support from the schools. Some of these courses are self-guided and require books to be bought online.

For other people, online class is not for everyone. Some students prefer having personal interaction with other people by which they can learn more while others can handle studying by themselves. At first it might be too difficult to handle but later on as you keep on taking online class, the students will be practiced and able to get the hang of it. Time management and good discipline are the keys to finish and pass online courses. If the students do not have the maturity level it requires to stand the demand of time and effort, the student might end up retaking the class. While online class provides independence, one of the factors to consider is picking the suitable time and environment to do it. Avoiding distraction is challenging when it comes to this but as long as students stay focus on their goals, they should be able to finish the course. It has to do with the other factor, self-discipline.

Doing online classes are made easy because important materials are now provided by the instructors through emails or website. Thanks to the internet and the new technology we that we have that made it possible for students to experience a new and effective way to enhance their knowledge and reach their dreams. As said before, this type of online learning program may be confusing and hard at first, but if you get used to it, you will learn fast. This is very handy for those people who works a lot and cannot afford expensive traditional schooling. As long as they have access to the internet and could go to their school website, students should be able to learn the materials and do the programs.

Going to the traditional schooling that we all commonly used to learn from the past, I can say that there is no problem doing this type of learning and teaching technique as long as you have the time and means to do it. It is a face-to-face lecture with the teacher or instructor where you are required to do assignments at home and in-class activities as well. However, a lot of the in-class activities have limited time to finish, like quizzes and examinations. Studying on time is mandatory for this kind of class. Students needs to be always on time when it comes to the submission of materials. Falling behind might not be the best because sometimes teachers do not give extension for late assignments. Now, this is where face to face interaction comes in handy. Students can readily ask the teacher or their classmates for advice. Students see it as very helpful because they can talk to their professor as soon as possible and get the exact answers they need. Socially speaking, this is very helpful also. The students can make new friends while going to school. They can introduce themselves to each other and do physical activities together while they are learning. Learning in this type of environment will be not be so boring because students can learn together physically. A lot of students choose this kind of learning process because they say they can absorb more matters and gain knowledge in class while also making new friends. While students need to be on time in the class and finish all the activities, physical interaction with friends makes this a worthy experience. To other, a hands on activity is the best way to learn.

We may also consider the fact that traditional schooling will take more time because it requires studying inside and outside of the class. Students need to be focused as well and have the dedication to succeed. This is a good way for the professor to make sure that students can actually learn because of they are physically present in the atmosphere they are both in.

Another type of learning process is what they call hybrid class which is a mixture of in-class and online class. If you are someone who likes to see and hear the lecture of your professor face to face but somehow does not want to sit in class for a long time, a mixture of online and traditional schooling is the right class for you. Hybrid class has a little bit of traditional schooling mixed with some online class activities that makes it not all boring but also enjoyable. Usually teachers discuss lessons inside the class and you do the work at home and submit it online. If the student is not ready for a full blast online class, this is the best way to go. Hybrid is popular now to the new generation and a lot of students who take the class usually likes it. According to University of Washington, "Recent studies such as a 2010 U.S. Department of Education meta-analysis suggest that hybrid courses result in superior student learning outcomes, not necessarily due to the format itself, but because students often spend extra time reviewing course material." ("Exploring"). This technique gives students more time to do the works at their own phase and also they can take the same at home as assignments. Great time management and dedication are the requisites to be successful in this kind of learning process. If the students cannot understand something in the materials, they can ask the teacher in the class during lecture time. The students can also ask help from their classmates if they are having any difficulties figuring the discussion. Students could have study groups and share their knowledge to each other. It helps the students to enjoy flexibility doing the class online while having more understanding of the lessons being discussed in class.

Online, Hybrid, and Face-to-Face schooling are the new methods to acquire good education that we all aspire to have a better future. These are different useful methods of getting effective information to learn that comes very handy for those people who have a very complicated and busy life. New technology has helped our society to obtain new ways of having instructions at school. It is not too late to dream about having a diploma and get a better life.

You do not need to be a high technical person or a very expensive equipment to do online classes. All you need is a fairly updated computer, useful software, and a reliable internet. Sometimes a few accessories like a webcam is also necessary which usually comes with the computer itself. There is nothing impossible to do the online classes. You just need to be firm in your decision to learn and achieve your dream of becoming a degree holder in the future.
