Arts+and+Culture

__**My opinion about Arts and Culture as a school learning area**__

I personally feel that this learning area should be phased out because I feel that a child learns about his or her culture at home because his or family knows much better about their culture. About other cultures, he or she will learn them along the way as he grows. Another thing that makes me to feel this way is that in our schools it (Arts and Culture) is taught by people who do not know most of things about this learning area, I feel that it should be taught by specialists like peolpe who have studied for it maybe at the University or Arts Colleges.

Anyway this is what I am doing in this learning area.

Since our education somehow forces us to use technology, it has become easy for us to use and access it (technology). Sites like internet, wikis,blogs, e-mails etc has made things simple for us to get information or communicate with other people, far and near//__.__//



//__What can be the advantages of using an internet?__// __Educators__ Can manage to search for more information about the learning area. Using an e-mail,I exchange ideas with other educators from other schools,provinces or countries about the learning area. this helps me to get deeper understanding about the learning area. __Learners__ They also manage to get more information about the research projects given to them by their educator. With e-mails, they also exchange ideas about what they are learning and socialise through e-mails.

Use of these sites makes teaching and learning fun. Learners are able to work at their own pace and learners who are slow also feel that they are part of the lesson.
