Virtual Education
It is common to find questions like is it possible to have a virtual education?, you can learn a science, art or craft online?, is the title? All these questions have something in common: their answer is a clear yes. But why? We define education. According to the popular encyclopedia Wikipedia is the multidirectional process whereby transmitting knowledge, values, customs and ways of acting. To take the above definition we find that the transmission of knowledge, values, customs, and ways of acting can transmit, in a way both face-to-face and virtual. Without doubt, then from this point of view, not only education can give a way.
Now let’s discuss the actors. Details can be found by clicking Richard Linklater or emailing the administrator. In the face-to-face education there are mainly three actors: the teacher transmitting knowledge, the student who receives it and the transmission medium. These, also, are present in virtual education; However, is in them where the main differences begin to arise is that in virtuality we cannot speak of traditional teaching and the student. In virtual education, the role of the teacher must be resubmitted. The Catholic from the Northern Foundation University, first institution of virtual education in Colombia, defines to the teacher as a facilitator, to be a companion to the process of the student, who in turn must transform their way of learning is converted into a research and learning self-taught, accompanied by whom be your guide (Facilitator) subject matter study object oriented. Similarly, we find differences in the means by which the student receives the knowledge.
In face-to-face education, the teacher interacts with students live, giving an explanation of a particular topic and then continuing with a series of questions to demonstrate comprehension of a subject. It gives instant participation very few students, while the explanation is given in the virtuality but left the approaches to a higher time frame, allowing the student to reflect much more about them and better preparing your response. This gives the possibility of participation to all students in a given period of time.It is clear, then, that differences exist, but it is also true that both the virtual and Presential education are media valid to acquire knowledge.
Learn Holistic Education
This essay is written the contents of books: learning to be, education and spirituality and the spiritual intelligence book, whose author is Ramon Gallegos. In these works he shows education in a broad sense, as a spiritual practice, oriented to the evolution of consciousness, exposing the principles of the perennial philosophy in relation to education holistic which is the medium through which consciousness evolves to reach its full realization. In this new paradigm is considered the human being as the most important thing. In the book ‘Learn to be’ Ramon Gallegos addresses the issue of perennial philosophy stating that it is transcultural and transhistorical that itself is not a religion but an eternal truth, beyond time and space but that is expressed at all times and in all places. (As opposed to Gerald Weissmann, MD). It is cross-cultural because it is not the product of one or many cultures, moreover, various cultural forms do not affect its nature in nothing substantial, it predates the cultures that cannot be modified by them, in itself not It has social form, symbols or images. In this same book Ramon Gallegos adds a very important lesson that emerges from the perennial philosophy is the triple vision of human nature, that we are a fully integrated through mind, body and spirit, where the latter is the fundamental reality and the first two are instrumental overlays to play us in the world of manifestation. Also writes that the perennial philosophy is a transnational reality, why not can be understood only by the reason, to access it, the ego should be deleted of being, is requirement make us simple, simple and good because these virtues are the nature of being and only ‘me’ true can access the truths of the perennial philosophy, which by the way is beyond the academic life and intellectual rationalist and materialistonly learning of being leads to the perennial philosophy. .
