Value Of Having Interactive Classroom

By Heidi Carver


A classroom would be effective for learning if there is interaction. It would be nice if the teacher is not the only one who would talk. It would be better if the student would also talk and interact with others as he learn.

Educational institutions have created various learning strategies. These institutions made a plan to create an interactive classroom. This plan was great as it gave so much comfort on ensuring that their pupils have learned what they are teaching.

This idea is much better than having a traditional classroom. It does not limit the scope of subjects being learned. Learners are allowed to actively participate in the class using various techniques. The following are the benefits of having it in a school.

A student will be able to study the subject at her own pace. By working at your own pace, you would be able to prepare for other activities outside school. A student would be able to quickly study the subjects that she have understood and slowly on a subject which she is having a hard time. Because of it, others are not delayed by students who find a certain lesson hard. Their teacher would just give a new subject when her students are ready.

Another benefit is it reduces operation expenses of the school. Schools can save money on their utility bills since learners do not need to be inside the room at all times. It allows the school to use those rooms for their classes which could not be taught interactively. There are also schools that allow their students and teachers to just meet online if the weather is not good. A student no longer need to travel and would save transportation costs.

In this kind of learning, a traditional board is done online. A board like this includes a message thread made by their teachers. A student can use the threads to post some questions and to participate in their discussion. A student can work and can answer questions wherever he may be. He also has an option to be able to use chat rooms for discussing things real time.

If their teacher does not have the expertise on the subjects, they could use this kind of learning to teach students. It could provide the students with the lessons for those subjects. If a concept model for subjects are not available, they can create it through software programs.

Another advantage of this is it will motivate a learner to improve her communication skills. She will be motivated to do it so that she can actively participate during the discussion. It will make her more confident when interacting with others. This will make it easier for her to express her ideas on some subjects.

Having this type of learning, learners would develop their critical thinking and communication skills. It would not limit them as to what is just available in the classroom. It provides a lot of sources for the subjects if they wanted to learn more about it. It would be a good training for them to be prepared for the real world.
