Online Education Grows Up, And For Now, It's Free

    In the NPR article "Online Education Grows Up, And For Now, It's Free" (2012), NPR staff focuses on the increasingly development and influence in online learning by discussing the change in education and classroom. First, this news describes that the online courses are more available than before, which create more and more opportunities for students to access to high quality education, especially for people who can not access to education before. Second, this news states that the ideas to teach 50 students are the same as the ideas to teach thousands of students at a time. In the past, students had to go to school to have class; however, there are only a few students in the class, but thousands of students take the same class online now. In conclusion, the author thinks the online education will keep changing the way of teaching both in the normal class and online class.

Hi, everyone!

My name is Huang Hetao and you can just call Tao. I'm happy you can come to my blog. I think we can explore interesting things in Penn State in this semester.

I come from Fuzhou, China and I just come to Penn State this year. My hometown is a beautiful city, which have mountains, rivers, lakes and is near by sea. I love my hometown and, if you like, I am happy to share you the beautiful stories in my city.

I just graduated from university last summer. Now, I plan to apply the master in Architecture in Penn State. This is also the main reason why I am studying in IECP. I really want to be a architect because this is my dream. I like painting and designing. I think it is exciting when I design a surprising thing like a signature or a sign. Except studying here, I also want to see the world out of China. I like travel. I think traveling can let people learn more new things that can not get in class. And I am attracted by everything here. Penn State is my first stop of my life out of China. I am delighted that I can learn from each other here.

In a word, I am glad to see everyone in IECP and thank you for coming here!
