HOW DISTANCE LEARNING CAN CONNECT YOU TO
OTHER CULTURES

Professor Aries Cobb
WEBSITES
One way for a person to be connected to other
cultures is by going on other websites that will help
them to connect. Some examples of websites can be:
epals.com
penpalworld.com
penpalsnow.com
WHY?
Good question and I am so glad that you asked!!!
The great reason for a person to get on those websites so that
they can not only be connected to people in other cultures but
to also see how people learn in different countries.
This is what I mean: People can see what other classes are like
and they can also see the teaching styles of other teachers in
the countries and how they relate to students’ learning styles.
WHY CONTINUED
Distance learning can also be helpful to me
education wise meaning that they can learn at
their own pace and they are free to study when
ever and where ever they like other than at home.
I can get their assignments on time and they could
never miss an assignment.
I can also see the benefits of not only the teaching
styles of other teachers but also lessons being
taught.
WHY CONTINUED
Distance learning also gives me a chance to experience a
different atmosphere other than being in a classroom
environment. But the disadvantage is that I cannot get social
interaction in distance learning and I can’t ask questions online
unlike in the classroom sitting face to face with teachers and
students.
Distance learning not only help me to learn along with other
students in the other cultures but also gives me the opportunity
to see how they experience it.
EXAMPLES OF EXPERIENCE IN OTHER CULTURES
The examples of my experience vs other students’:
My experience with distant learning and me connecting with other cultures can
be a good experience so I can see how other students experience it.
The distance learning can be far better in other cultures than the classroom
environment that I’m getting meaning that I could get the teachings of other
cultures depending on their teaching styles.
Other students may have a good experience with it as well and their experience
might be better than mine meaning some students would enjoy it more by how
they were taught in other cultures and theirs might be interesting like mine.
It all depends on who is teaching the classes in distant learning in other cultures.
CONCLUSION
I may get a great deal of fun out of it meaning that I can not only see my
own experiences but also other students’ experiences. On the distant
learning websites, I can see the students’ experiences by what they write in
the blog just like on the epals website, the teacher in Spain wrote that she is
teaching a class and their first language is Spanish and they are learning
English as second language.
Also, another teacher says on the epals website that her daughter is teaching
students overseas and she had a fantastic experience. If I connected with
distant learning in other cultures it would help me a lot by knowing how
interesting it could be in a whole different environment in another setting.
It could also be fun!!!!!
