It is interesting to consider external factors that affects our reality, and we cannot be blind to the things that are happen very close to us. During these time of quarantines and prevention, we have to look for solutions and strategies to reduce the impact that those events can make in our learning process. Also, as teachers it is important that our students percieve us as a source of solutions and calm to these complicated times.

In my consideration, the article written by Gaurav Upreti is thought-provoking. On the one hand, it contradicts many conceptions that I support concerning classroom education. On the other hand, it claims notable advantages of online learning over face-to-face learning. As the name implies, this is about 7 Reasons Why Online Learning Is The Next Trend In Education. Initially, the author remarks on the assumption that online education is cost-effective, arguing that it is cheaper in comparison with conventional education. This argument may be accurate in contexts like the United States, where a college education is expensive; nevertheless, in countries like Colombia, many universities are public and economical for most of the aspirants. Afterward, the author declares that online education is flexible since students control their schedule. As an online learner, you are supposed to go at your own pace, fast or slow; however, this concept does not apply to everyone since, in some schools or universities, work has increased and become a full-time job. So, unfortunately, some students do not have time to do anything else than study. Additionally, the author comments that this kind of education is always available and affordable for everyone. This idea clashes again with reality when we take into account developing countries, like Mexico, where many people do not have an internet connection or an electronic device. Later, the author expresses that online education offers a wide selection of programs, being a notable facility with which I coincide. Conventional education, by contrast, sometimes requires moving from where you live, which could be expensive due to its factors like paying rent. Then, the author asserts that online classes save time thanks to its reduced period of teaching, which is regularly one or two years less than conventional learning. This affirmation is not accurate since we can find traditional universities that have different types of careers in terms of duration, being from one, three, or five years. Next, the author declares that online learning is tailor-made to suit individual needs; what is correct if we consider that students can easier manage their time and other responsibilities. Finally, the author claims that online learning has international recognition. As we have lived in the times of quarantine, the adaptation from institutions and students to online learning has been necessary since it is the most appropriate option in terms of health. I found interesting the points of this article inasmuch as the necessities that imply education in times like the one we are living.
