My Elearning Doubts

As a teacher, I find it quite easy to believe that young people nowadays are really getting into the relatively new wave of education. Perhaps, elearning is truly an inevitable process for students and teachers for generations to come.

So on my part, I still have to study how this entire system works. I heard that there are as many different elearning training solutions for various companies as there are as many students in a university. And sadly, I’m not really into this phase yet.

The problem is I can’t really imagine myself trying to explain what gerunds are to Koreans in front of the computer. I mean besides not fully understanding how this elearning stuff works, the thing I worry about most is the virtual communication. I think this kind of teaching would just promote the lack of interaction on a personal level, like being insincere on a certain point. Not to mention I also feel awkward talking to the screen all day while also requiring to repeat a lot of words because of some faulty equipment. But then again, perhaps it’s really just up to the people involved in the learning process. I guess teaching will become one of those office jobs now if ever this trend dominates the traditional classroom type of education.

In a lot of ways, it makes life easier. I guess that’s the whole point of having technology, right? I don’t have to transfer classrooms before any class or have trouble over going out from home only to be late at work. The working schedule can also be flexible for some online teachers, although not as flexible as those with the students.

Plus, I get to teach different kinds of students from different nationalities. Somehow it also makes it a lot easier to teach because you don’t have to mind so many students at the same time and get irritated by several distractions during the lessons. But still, I feel doubtful about this whole elearning training solutions that the manager in the company I am going to work keeps talking about. Well, I guess only time can tell.

Me and Fran in Our Barbados Small Hotel

Fran and I went to Barbados last month. We stayed at this awesome Barbados small hotel that had the most charming rooms. The place was truly beautiful. Fran and I agreed to go back to the very same place next year.


For the price of the hotel, we really got our money’s worth. The hotel was located at the Eastern side of the island, just a few minutes away from long beach. It was such a value; we really saved a lot of money by staying there. And the best part is that the place was great. I did not expect as much service and quality from a Barbados small hotel. It just goes to show you that there still a lot of great deals in Barbados. People, (including myself) think that the Caribbean country is an expensive place since so many celebrities go there. But it is actually quite affordable if you just know where to stay and where to eat. I love Oistins, by the way. That town has the best seafood fry I have ever tasted.


Here’s Fran and myself getting ready for some jet skiing fun. This was taken by some guy who was checking us out so I decided that we could take advantage of the guy and make him a slave for the day. We made him carry our stuff and rub suntan lotion on our backs.

Ah, that beautiful Caribbean Sea water. No words can fully describe the beauty of that place. I definitely fell in love at first sight with that perfectly azure beach. We met a couple of cute locals at this beach and they treated us to lunch (ah yes, the perks of being sexy). Then at night we partied at the southern coast of the island near the Gap where the night life of the island is located. It was a good thing that our Barbados apartment hotel was located at the center of the island because we were near everything. We went to the majestic north shore as well before we left.
