Advantages Of An 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.

Schools have developed many learning strategies for this. They have thought about having an interactive classroom. It was a nice idea as it gave a lot of benefits in making students learn more on what has been taught to them.

This has been much effective than the traditional classroom. This would not limit a scope of the subject being taught. Students are being allowed to participate actively in class through a lot of techniques. The next statements are the advantages of having one in your 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 new learning style, traditional boards are being created online. Boards like these allow the creation of conversation threads which could be created by teachers. Pupils may use the thread in order to post a question and to have participation in the discussion. Learners could study and could answer the questions wherever they are. They have a choice to create chat rooms for real time discussions.

If a teacher is not an expert on certain subjects, they can use this type of learning in teaching students. It will be able to provide a student the lessons for that subjects. If the school does not have concept models for some subjects, there are already software programs available to be able to create that.

Another thing is that it motivates a student to improve his communication skills. He would be motivated to do this so he can be more active during discussions. It would make him have more confidence when talking to others. It would make it easy for him to express his ideas on the subjects.

To have this kind of learning, the learners would be able to develop critical thinking and their communication skills. It does not limit on what is available in their classroom. It gives them many sources for subjects when they like to learn about it more. It will be a great training for learners to prepare for a real world.
