Norwegian school in its’ current state offers students education from a
broad specter of subjects to choose from. Each subject serves its’ own special
competencies; however, they all have something in common. Throughout all school
courses, the general objective lies within improving and evolving the students.
Every day we should obviously be gaining knowledge of our chosen subjects, but
that knowledge alone is not always sufficient.
With the Internet having become a meeting place uniting everyone in the
world, it has also become the world’s largest knowledge base. Growing up in the 21st century, we
have had open access to the sources of the Internet for a long time. Generally,
neither posting nor reading is restricted, making some sources reliable, and some
not. Therefore, believing everything one finds on the Internet is not proper
education. The critical mindset is thus of utmost relevance in the current
struggle for knowledge, and it should be prioritized. In addition to securing correct
education, this direction of learning requires students to think for
themselves, encouraging independence, which is a valued trait.
The digital world is in constant development, and we believe that it has
become a suitable place for learning English. Our English class is
participating in a project with other English classes across the globe. The
project is based upon that all the participating classes are sharing the same
learning technique: blogging. Unlike traditional English education, The
restrictions on what we can write about are not very strict, opening up for
endless potential, and we can learn so much from each other. While we are
reading English at all times, we are also reading about other students’
interests. Who knows, maybe what we read will intrigue us enough to take actual
enjoyment from our reading?
Informative article on the importance of being able to find trustworthy sources online. And I hope you are enjoying your reading and also writing articles as you have done this year!
