Notes to the TextNotes to the Text

1. We go to school because we want to know more about the world around us and at the same time extend our horizons of thinking.

We go to school because we want to know more about the world and at the same time learn to think more deeply and in wider background.

我们上学是因为想了解周围的世界，同时也拓宽自己的视野。




2. Technology is taking over those interactions and introducing us to a whole new approach of learning.

Technology is being used to communicate in learning, and leading us to a completely new method of learning, that is, studying online.

先进的技术正逐步取代这些交互式的活动并给我们带来一种全新的学习方式。




3. There are so many choices of courses and subjects or time frames that completing a program is not an issue for students anymore.

Students can choose from so many courses and subjects or schedules that it is no longer a problem for students to complete an educational program.

在网上，学生对各种课程和时间段有多种选择。因此，完成一项教育计划对学生而言就不再成为问题了。



Notes to the TextNotes to the Text4.In addition, regular courses (offline) depend

heavily on books and other traditional paper-based materials while online education posts lectures, notes, and assignments electronically and that saves thousands of dollars every year. Besides, traditional courses depend heavily on books, notes, and other traditional materials, such as paper; but online education can be done with the help of the Internet. In this way thousands of dollars can be saved every year. 此外，常规的（离线）课程，严重地依赖于书本和其它传统的印刷资料。然而，在线教育则通过电子手段来显示教师授课内容、学生笔记和布置作业，这样每年可以节约数千美元。




5.Education will spread out more and more online and students will have more choices on how and

when to take their courses and classes.

Education will be carried out more and more online. And students will have more choices to decide how and when to learn their courses and have their classes.

教育会越来越多地在网上推广开来。在以什么方式和什么时间上课的问题上，学生们会有更多的选择。

Are You an Online Learner?Are You an Online Learner?

Every form of learning favors a certain set of skills. Ask yourself the following to decide if online learning is right for you: 1.Do you have the tools? Most online courses will state what equipment is required. In any case, an up-to-date computer and a fast Internet connection will best serve you. 2.Are you comfortable with the technology? You’ll have to understand your hardware, any software and the course interface before you can reap the benefits of online learning. 3. Do you manage time well? Online learners usually don’t rely on a set block of time for a class; it’s up to you to decide when to go to school. Online learning demands a larger time investment overall. In a traditional class, there simply isn’t time for every student to share in each discussion.

4. Are you self-disciplined? It’s easy to sit back in an online course, but your learning will suffer if you don’t participate. The lack of accountability could lead to poor study habits. 5. Are you comfortable in reading and writing? While some classes have audio or video instruction, reading and writing are still the dominant means of communication. 6.Can you handle delayed responses? You may find that your momentum suffers without an immediate response to a question.
