Alpha Public School Students Talk about Blended Learning
Alpha students are responsible for this blog post. The paragraph that follows, the poster in the photograph, and the short video were all created by students at the school.
I believe that learning on computers and with teachers is great. Learning on a computer, you get to experiment with how much you know, and it presses your knowledge. With a teacher you get one-on-one help; you get to ask questions and you get to fully understand it. With teachers we learn percents, review fractions, and other stuff. On Khan Academy, we can pick what we want to learn, and on ST Math, they give us tests to see if we need to learn information like prime factors. Even in language arts, with our teacher we read fun books and ask questions about figures of speech. On the computer we read articles and answer questions. Overall, learning on a computer and with a teacher are both fun and helpful.
