I am thinking of the traditional teacher who does not want to change! This person says that, education is so very important and we must respect how it is done. How in the world can you expect a student to learn something and this person is a million miles away from the teacher? What is the quality of education are they getting? They will NEVER really learn well because the teacher is not there to help them grasp the material.
This person may be a die-hard traditionalist who truly loves and respects education, but does not respect the changes that have taken place. This person may also not want to give up that sent of 'control' that traditional classroom teachers have. Why should they post their well-written tests for anyone to view? After all, the teacher cannot be in a student's house while the test is going on. This type of teacher may also respect the value of oral traditions.
After reading my paper, I would like this person to be more willing to value the computer and its many capabilities. This teacher should be willing to at least consider that online feedback can be sometimes more specific and individualized for a student. Due to the nature of computers (able to duplicate the same feedback), teachers are able to point a student directly to a page number or source that can help them in their writing.
I am not exactly sure of what steps are there, but I think that they may be that I give them advantages of online education.
