With the progress of technology, we can easily obtain many resources from the Internet. Recently, Internet classrooms have been widely adapted. Many people think Internet classrooms are better than traditional classrooms, but others do not think so. They consider Internet classrooms may not bring about many advantages as expected. In my opinion, however, students can get more conveniences and benefits in Internet classrooms than in traditional classrooms.

First, convenience is the biggest advantage of Internet classrooms. Internet classrooms are very convenient for us to get access to various course information or contents from any place anytime. Some classrooms may have good teachers or sufficient resources. But some students may be limited to scarce resources. By Internet classrooms, we can easily connect with famous professors all over the world, and we can get more information which we want to know.

Next, I think Internet classrooms cost less money than traditional classrooms. In traditional classrooms, we have to pay tuition to the school. The tuition of many schools is rather expensive. People who choose to study via the Internet at home by themselves can save not only some intuition but also transportation fees and living expenses.

To sum up, traditional classrooms are restricted by physical space, fixed time and cost much money. All of these can be overcome by Internet classrooms. In short, Internet classrooms can bring considerable benefits, but it does not mean that traditional classrooms are never important. I think they can complement each other.
