Good morning everyone.

According to me, the digital education serving as both boon (by helping the children by continuing their studies in the time of pandemic) and curse (for destroying our old principles of studies) eg. For teaching eye contact with students and for studying interaction with other children and teacher to share the view for practical knowledge are impossible in the time of the online interactive session. We all know during online class on meet we can only see what the teacher is writing or telling but they can't see whether the children are getting it or not. India Principles of education tells us that before becoming a scholar first we should become a good human. In the school or gurukul with the education, we also learn various things like how to talk with each other, how to tackle the problem, how to become a noble citizen, how to respect others etc. With that, we also see many things in our class during class. In school, all children are equal whether they are rich or poor as all are coming and joining the class but The online class are creating a lot of difference in us as all children are not getting things on online class with that some poor children are not having any method by which they can also have access to online education.

We can say it can be boon for Rich students but it is a curse for the poor.

How can we forget the playing, teasing, fighting, laughing, jumping, shouting in our school with our friends?

How can we forget the tight slap that our teacher gave us on seeing the incomplete work?

How can we forget that sharing of tiffin box with our friends in lunch?

How can we forget the bunking of classes?

How can we forget those ideas for not attempting the class tests?

How can we forget the terror of principal and fun of games teacher?

We can't forget a lot of memories in the school building which is very very big and important and special than the online class.

ONLINE EDUCATION IS ONLY GIVING US ACADEMIC KNOWLEDGE WHILE OUR TRADITIONAL EDUCATION WITH ACADEMIC KNOWLEDGE GIVES SO MANY IMPORTANT AND KNOWLEDGE FULL THINGS.

SO, WE CAN'T SAY ONLINE EDUCATION OR DIGITAL EDUCATION HAS TAKEN OVER TRADITIONAL EDUCATION.

Good morning everyone.

In my point of view, the digital education is one of the upcoming technologies which will benefit us in near future. Most of the college students may find it difficult to understand all of the things taught in the class. So they prefer video lectures on YouTube and other websites and find that more fruitful. So presently digital education has a big impact in education system which I find very helpful for educating India.

But it doesn't mean that it will diminish the traditional education procedure because we all know school and college is the root key and home for students, and the teacher student consultation is not present in case of digital education.

In a nutshell, traditional education is always required and digital education will help all the education process to become more effective for educating all the people.

Well, according to my opinion, the statement made has mislead the relation between digital education and traditional education. It can be more nicely said that digital education has empowered the traditional education system.

If alone they are taken then they would fail to fulfil as much they can do together.

In Digital mode, it is easy to access any lecture, tutorials, etc. Any time at any place. It can be watched by reversing many times in the same manner but this criteria is also a problem in it. If one is unable to get in one way then its not possible for the person to understand it despite being watched many times because it will repeat the same. For doubts to get clear through this mode it will take time. May be sometimes it will be uncleared.

But in the traditional system, one can clear his/her doubts by the teacher at the same spot where it arises. But in this mode also there are certain limitations in teachers knowledge and their way to explain the things.

So the traditional education system can utilise the digital system to explain the facts more clearly through animations, ppt, 3d view, more cleared microstructures, etc.

Good morning everyone.

Today, we are going to discuss whether digital education has taken over Traditional education.

So, in this case, both of these has their own merits and demerits,

If I say about digital education.

It's Merits:

1. It is helpful for students to attain online classes of even the class end they can watch the saved video whenever they need.

2. The fees structure of Digital education is less as compared to traditional education.

3. Online education can be performed at every place, even if any student is not in the home.

4. No need to go to school every day.

5. No need to carry a lot of books in the digital education system, because all these are done by digital mode.

6. No need to pay more examination fees in comparison to the traditional mode. Etc.

Demerits-.

1. Digital education is only performed by having a smartphone/laptop or any other smart device.

3. Digital education requires a network connection, Need to recharge every month.

4. In online mode there is a major issue relating to the network connectivity in rural areas.

5. Many parents are not educated, so how do they guide their children in any difficulties.

6. In the digital mode of education every student need a mobile phone or smart device, so in this case, a student's mind can be diverted into all other social media. Etc.

I have explained some of the merits and demerits of digital education, now I am discussing traditional ones.

Merits:

1. In the traditional mode of education there is always an interaction between a student and a teacher.

2. No need to face any network connectivity issues.

3. The parents can guide their children if they are half-educated too.

Demerits-.

1. In the traditional mode of education students need to carry a lot of books.

2. The fees structure is more as compared to digital education.

3. It is time-consuming, Every student has to get ready for school every day.

4. Physical presentation of students is mandatory in this mode. Etc.

Digital education is not limited to video lectures, it is a vast package of online tests, Online Communities, Live feedback etc. With online tests, you are not comparing yourself with 30 students of your classroom but a competition with thousands of students from across the world and you can revise any topic at ant time as you Have access to video lectures.

I think both digital and traditional education have their own set of advantages and disadvantages. Digital education cannot take over traditional education and vice versa. It depends on the individual to choose which one over the other.

1. Social interaction:

I feel social interaction is almost nil in digital education. Social interaction includes interaction with teacher and peers. In digital education, despite having online portals for discussion, cannot outweigh the interaction being provided by traditional education.

2. Flexibility:
Digital education is more flexible than traditional education. Digital education is making life easier for people who work and study. They can study whenever they have time. Traditional education is not as flexible as digital education.

3. Budget:
Digital learning is cheaper as compared to traditional learning. Probably it is because traditional education is providing extra facilities which digital education cannot. For example library, etc.

4. Practical experience:
Traditional education gives us a provision to learn things with practical experience. Lab facility is present in traditional education. What we see in lab is just a small scale version of what we are going to deal with at work after the completion of course. This cannot be provided by digital education.

5. Discipline:
For people with discipline and self-motivation, digital or traditional learning doesn't make much difference. But for people who lack them, digital learning is not a very good option.

Yes, from my point of view, digital education has taken over the traditional education system and it is valid enough. It has been most beneficial to the poor students, it has proved to be a lucrative deal for them as a very negligible cost, the poor students are able to obtain a quality education. I said the cost negligible because the cost of internet packs in our mobile phones is really negligible in front of the school fees which we have to pay.

Also, if someone is interested in taking distance education from a university of his/her choice, then sitting at home, he/she can apply for the course, pay for it online and learn the same thing digitally which some of the students are learning there physically. And sometimes it also happens that the universities provide discounts on their fee structures only on their digital learning programs, that proves to be another advantage.

In this case, a student is not bound to any kind of time table if he/she is learning from you tube or similar sites as the concerned may visit the site and attend the lectures any time and from the point where he/she dropped it. This gives one more advantage that the student here has many choices like the faculty which is teaching, the language in which the lecture is being delivered, content, etc. This allows the student to take quality education. And it is fact that a human mind is more responsive to videos rather than looking at the same faculty daily in the same classroom. Here comes the another advantage, digital education is mobile education, i.e. you are not bound to a particular place which helps to keep your mind fresh. Also as compared to traditional system of education, digital education will always offer you ALL THE LATEST facts and figures which is not possible for a faculty in classroom or a book.

But, as we all know that a coin has two faces. So there are also some pros of traditional education like it helps us to improve our presentation skills, it keeps our life disciplined, it enhances our listening skills, grasping power and attentiveness. But these few pros of the traditional education system and the same few cons of digital education cannot dominate those many advantages of digital education. So, digital education has taken over the traditional educational system.

Thanks.

Good morning everyone. So today we have the topic "has digital education overtaken traditional education?" Yes, ofcourse, digital is overtaking traditional education. But we know evry coin has its pros and cons. So, I would like to start with its pros.

* it gives your crystal clear idea on each topic. The topics which we can't imagine can be seen through animations which is a great boon. There are students who are weak at imagining, so these videos will help them and might enhance their thinking ability.

* any time you can have these videos. There are people who want to study during night time or early morning. So these videos and apps can help them.

*there are so many capsules like formulas etc. So if we forget anything, just go the app and type it and we will get what we want.

So everything is readymade. We will get what we want within a point away. But I would like to give a definition of education.

Education is not just about studying. It's about discipline, culture, respect and relation between Guru and Shishya. It teaches us how to respect elders, society and a lot more. How to behave with our parents and strangers etc. So basically, culture has been lost in digital education which I think is greatest among all. Education is a combination of these things. So traditional education is all about culture and what I said before but yes it won't give readymade videos or capsules. People have to face lots of difficulties because you won't get the topic what we want in a single book, we have to go behind these things and spend lots of money but we have libraries ok?

I would like to have a mixture of digital and traditional education. Is this possible?

But yes, digital education has taken over traditional education because we want everything to be done as easiest as possible, without facing any difficulties. So is that really good or bad? I give it to you guys.

Hello everyone greeting!

I think that we can't equate digital education and traditional education because both has different basis.

Traditional education is our old system to give knowledge to people while digital education is a modern techniques to give the knowledge.

Both have their own benefits and losses.

In traditional education, one have go to the college to get the knowledge but in digital it is not so you can learn anywhere and anytime.

For small class student, they require traditional education but when they grow, mature they can learn digitally although a small guy can be teached digitally by using some videos pictures on a digital screen, so at that time digital education can be used as supplement for traditional education so it is impossible to teach everyone digitally some time they need traditional education because digital education never teach us molarity, practical skills, behaviour etc.

But on the other hand, digital education provides us lot of comfortable and make the education more competitive. Today's time everything is digital so if anyone not able to buy they can download it and read it in their gadget's if only they have internet, they can excess videos audio and mnay thing of visulaization that makes the thing very clear to people so we can say digital education good for a mature mens. If you don't know what is right what is wrong then how can you learn the good thing so to decide this you will have go to traditional education.

Both the education have some drawback.

In digital education you can't clear your doubt at instant while in traditional education we can interact, talk to our educator d clear their doubts and in this way a good communication. Is developed and fear of speaking is also removed.

Traditional education make people punctual for their jobs.

So we can say both the education are supplement to each other and both have their own importance answer unimportance.

We can compare it in anyway.

Hello everyone.

In the 21st century, digital education is more preferred.

Over traditional education especially in COVID pandemic.

1. Digital education has preferred over traditional education due to its flexibility in time, speed.
2. It made people attracted towards digital learning because it's cost-saving, convince, with better 3d visualisation.
3. Digital learning is useful for supplement courses like short term courses.

4. Practical knowledge of the particular subject is gained only through traditional classroom education.

5. Traditional education is more interactive and interesting, difficulties are discussed with a teacher outside the classroom also.

In my opinion, the traditional course is important for the degree course while for short term course digital learning is beneficial. Traditional classroom with digital 3d visualization training is better-integrated learning.
