Being a parent in 2010 can be a very stressful and worrying experience. Regardless of the child's age all parents want to do the best for their children. One of the most important factors is education. Whether selecting the "right school" or helping with a child's homework, these areas can often lead parents to feel inadequate, powerless and frustrated. Those fortunate enough to be able to afford a private home tutor find themselves then concerned that the "stranger" entering the family home is both trustworthy and qualified enough to teach their children. However, most parents struggle to help with their children's homework covering subjects they themselves have either forgotten or not learnt for many years. These issues can often lead to "sleepless nights" for parents wishing to find an affordable and safe solution.
Learning Online and Online Education can help provide both a safe and affordable solution to these concerns, regardless of where a parent may live.
How can Learning Online & Online Education Help Both Parents & Children?
There are a number of Online Educational Services available. Arguably, the most successful are those that employ webcams as the "virtual classroom".
These services provide the following advantages and benefits to both parents and their children:
- Parents may wish to take lessons, in order to help with their child's' homework more effectively. This can be very stressful, when trying to help if it's a subject, which they don't completely understand. Online Learning can help remove this stress, enabling parents to continue doing the best for their children.
- As lessons take place from home, parents need not leave the house, therefore avoiding the costs of finding a "sitter".
- Both academic lessons (English, Maths etc) & Hobbies (Learning a musical instrument etc) can be learnt online.
- Parents are able to save time, money and the environment by learning online from home and avoiding needless journeys.
- Parents are able to "supervise" a lesson, should their child wish to learn a subject from home. This also removes worry or concerns a parent may have regarding a "stranger" entering the family home.
- Learning Online is surprisingly easy to do.
- Personal details, such as full name, address, bank details, etc, can all remain hidden from the tutor therefore increasing security and peace of mind.
Although Learning Online may sound an incredibly complicated idea, the truth is that with the current technology, this can be a very simple process.
In order to Learn Online, parents and children would require the following:
- A standard desktop, laptop or notebook computer.
- Internet access.
- Access to one of the free "IM Tools" (Instant Message Tools), MSN (Windows Live Messenger), Skype, Yahoo Messenger or OoVoo.
- A pair of standard headphones, headset (or earphone/mic combination). These are inexpensive to purchase.
- A standard Webcam. This is not mandatory; you would only require this if you wished for the teacher to be able to see you. This will also depend upon the lesson you are learning. For example, when learning the guitar online, via a webcam, it may be beneficial that the teacher could see how the students' fingers were positioned on the fret board.
- An Online Educational Website Portal enabling parents and their children to easily find experienced teachers and securely book affordable lessons with them.
Whilst we have discussed the many benefits and advantages that Online Learning can bring to both parents and their children, there are a number of important factors requiring further consideration.
- Where do parents and their children go, in order learn lessons online from home?
- How do parents find experienced and trustworthy Online Teachers?
- How can parents securely purchase affordable Online Lessons?
