Would E-learning work in an elementary school?

Having e-learning in elementary school is that it’s not the ideal style to teach students at our age. First of all, there are some disadvantages of e-learning. If students had e-learning as a choice to use, they would obviously pick the one that gives you more time to think and more time to do; and it wouldn’t be mandatory to attend classes. As well, more technology in the class, the less the students retain information this is because sometimes looking at the computer screen for too long a can make your brain a little delusional and unfocused. I relate to that because I would be on the computer all day on weekends and when I’m on for too long, I start to misread words. In addition to that, e-learning can make you feel isolated and lose social interaction.

On the other hand, there are perks about having e-learning in school. One scenario is that if you are sick one day and you have an important lesson the day after, you can watch a live stream and you can learn from home. As well, it gives the students the opportunity to learn at a self-paced mode and they can access their classes if they are located near a computer with internet. Also, more students are organized when it comes to e-learning. It as well, reduces the travel cost and time to and from school. Another reason is that e-learning gives time to think about answers and lets you ask questions either on forums or discussion boards, and get answers from teachers or fellow classmates. In the end, having a teacher in the front of the class teaching  the work is the best solution to teach students at our age instead of using e-learning which is somewhat teaching yourself at home.
