Learning today has gone beyond just learning at school, for both teachers and students.
Learning online has gone further than the classroom, it has gone on to being a way and means for teachers to discuss lesson plans with other teachers, and for students to talk about their classes and even discuss their favorite teachers or classes at their particular school.
This extension of school and the classic classroom- has shifted to online social networks, so that teachers can help teacher, and students can help students, and even make friends while in the process.
Today with the boom of online social networks, it has given people to meet other people of diverse cultures and from other parts of the world.
It has also given way for people to meet friends and learn about different viewpoints on different topics around the social educational and information world.
It also gives people a chance to get help with certain school subjects they might not be so slick on.
Such as: Chinese, Spanish, German, and other language expanding classes, as well as advanced science and math courses.
Online communities gives an opportunity to meet other people who can help you, and in return maybe you can help them with subjects they might not be so efficient on.
Online social networks gives people a chance to speak their minds and to discuss anything their heart desires or wishes to learn more about in the educational realms or even political realms.
I feel that learning other languages will be a 'MUST' in the coming times with business mainly being offshores, and with the emergence of people from foreign countries.
So the more languages you know, the more likely you are the succeed later in life.
