With the popularization of computers, more and more people tend to use the Internet to obtain information and knowledge, especially many educational institutions will use network education to educate their students. Many people think that online education is very convenient to acquire knowledge, and it will save students' time between school and home. Some people think that students can't concentrate on learning under the network education. In my opinion, we have benefited a lot from online education. First, online education can save students' time. We all know that traditional education requires students to go to school or a fixed place for technical education. As a result, students have to spend a lot of time commuting between school and family. But online education can save students a lot of time. Students don't have to spend a lot of time on the way back and forth between school and family. Second, students can get more knowledge through online education. Students can use the Internet to search the learning materials they need in their spare time. But in terms of traditional education, students can't get some useful information in school because they can't get some relevant knowledge from limited books. In a word, online education can not only save a lot of time, but also help students acquire more knowledge than traditional education.
