Lesson 16: The Internet and Education

The invention of the computer and the subsequent software programmed for its use has totally changed the whole concept of progress and communication.  Every part of the world can now be reached and contact with other persons where ever they are can be done through the internet.  The internet is the system that enables the user of a computer to gain access to whatever he needs be it for information, for communication, for business or for personal reasons.  Missing relatives can even be found thru the internet by using different search and social sites.  How much more for the field of education; the internet has become its partner in the ever changing learning process.  Students can interact with students in foreign countries, they can share information, learn and grow with each other.  They can search any topic and subject they want to research.  The globe becomes smaller and its inhabitants become closer and relations between countries are improved and strengthened.

It is very amazing when the teacher and the students communicate with each other through internet. It saves time and effort and with this even if you are away can always see to it that you are never behind whatever is happening. Human living has really evolved into something great. Before, if you don’t go to school you can’t attend classes but now, online lessons and courses were very in demand.

Despite of the disadvantages of technology you can never deny that it really helped us in so many ways, ways that we are notable to imagine before. From communication to studies and now, even shopping online is no longer something amazing. Undoubtedly, the internet is now a big part of education especially to the learners of this generation and of the years to come.

 

Having an access to the internet is a big edge for someone because we are all aware that internet is now a big part in education, not in terms of the information because we can get it from books but in terms of how we do things on our way. Why read lot of books when you can directly look for something in the internet. Why bother giving hard copies when you can email those. We can do things without internet but what can we do it make things easier for me and for you.
