Let's Start...Learning!!

Hello!

Have you ever heard of EducatioNation? Probably not! Well, let me explain what it is. EducatioNation is a website where students can go and take classes on almost anything that they want! Or, at least that's the dream...

You can call me Austin. I am just our little typist here for the site and I would like to take you on a little journey throughout something that is changing the path of education as we speak. EducatioNation was first founded only less than 3 months ago. January 18, 2010 to be exact. But, before I yap on about the site, let me tell you about what education is doing now, in general.

Now, I'm sure that you have heard of learning, but learning online is a slightly new concept. I say slightly because there are some other websites who are also doing close to the same thing, such as EduFire, WiZiQ, Myngle, Sclipo, and many others! The way that sites such as EduFire and WiZiQ teach and learn is that they put you in a virtual classroom where you have all sorts of gadgets and different kinds of technology to teach or learn at the greatest level. EducatioNation is also getting this advancement.

Basically, here's how it works:

1) Sign up! Basically the first thing that you do when you want to take a class or course is to simply just sign up for it. Remember that there are two kinds of classes: free and paid classes. Free classes are mostly used for introductions or for students to get to know what the paid course has in store for them and to learn of everything that they need to be apart of it.

2) Go into the classroom. You then go into the classroom which is just basically clicking a link, and BOOM! You're in it. Once you are in the classroom, you will see the teacher probably on a webcam, if they have one, and maybe a whiteboard, a chat box, an attendance list, and everything else.

3) Learn/Teach! Now that you are all comfortable in the class, you are ready to either teach or learn. It all depends on which you are doing. If you are teaching the lesson, then you will be talking a lot and probably showing a lot of visuals. If you are learning from the teacher, then all you have to do is just sit back and pay attention!

Either way that you look at it, online education is a simple and easy process. With EducatioNation, we are hoping that you will be able to do even more in a single online learning environment. So, over the next few days, months, or even years, I will be posting here with news on anything related to the site or anything related to what we are doing or anything else that I need to put up!

Don't forget to check out the site! We definitely need your support to make this great dream become reality! I am really glad to be on here and I hope to see you very soon participating with us!

Happy Learning!
