In recent years,"cloud classrooms"have become popular in many schools.This new way of learning       16        students to study anytime and anywhere.It has        17       many changes to our

education.

 

Last semester,my school started using cloud classrooms.At first,I was            18           about it.I wondered if it  could really help with my  studies.But  after  trying  it  for  a week,I  found  it extremely useful.

In a cloud classroom,teachers can     19    videos    and    PPTs    online.Students can watch them again after class,which helps us remember what we've learned.Once,I missed a math class because I was ill.           20          the cloud classroom,I could watch the recording and didn't fall behind.

Students can also           21        questions  online.Teachers  reply  quickly,and  sometimes other students also help answer them.This makes discussions more    22                .Last   month,we had a discussion about environmental protection in our English class.Many students shared their  ideas,and I learned a lot from others.

In my opinion,cloud classrooms are a good              25       to traditional classes.They make learning more flexible and interesting.I hope more schools can use them properly.
