Skeptics say
• If it relies on Internet and technology access at home and
schools limited to those who have and leave out low income
students.
• Still rely heavily on lectures by teachers
• Best for self motivated and directed learners
• Challenge for students to handle a lot at home
• Not suitable for all subjects
• For small classes
Implementation
• Teacher prepares teaching material – videos, paper work
etc and sends to the students
• Students listen to instruction, discuss with peers and raise
questions for the class time
• Interaction and discussion in class – problem, question
based, experiential, debate, lab work

as a facilitator by
circulating the

the teacher to be
available when the
students need him
or her most.

with peers or
in small groups
to collaborate
on problems.
