Lesson 16: The Internet and Education


Content
                Internet also called net. Net is the largest and far-flung network system of all system. Internet is not really a network a network but loosely organized collection of about 25,000 networks accessed by computers on the planet. No one’s own the internet; there are no central headquarters, no centrally offered services, and no comprehensive online index. However this is done through a standardized protocol called transmission control protocol/internet protocol. The most attractive way to move around the internet is called browsing or a program called Brower that uses mouse to point and click on screen icons to surf in the internet. Therefore, the use of internet has been all around the world and it has educational use as via email such as pen pals in US that indicates studies and question of a certain country. Internet gives connection to the world outside and advantages to access information. 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.is

Experience
            It is always been an everyday experience for me to use the Internet especially for educational purposes. When given projects and assignments, I often surf the net to gather information. Browsing the internet has been a fulfilling experience because you can do lots of things such as gathering information, seek tutorials, communicate with friends, family and relatives, etc. But, in gathering information from the internet also needs careful and thorough reading because there are sources that are not reliable. I guess browsing the internet is not new to the learners today especially for the students of the new generation. Also I have experienced taking quizzes online and passing projects online at Edmodo.com.

Reflection

             Internet is used every day, it makes us connected to the world outside, even in education we use internet to access in different form of information that provides us the knowledge that answer our questions. 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. Missing relatives can even be found thru the internet by using different search and social sites. Then, it can also be a great influence in Education.

Application
            If learners today are internet-oriented people, then using it as a tool and resource in classroom instruction will be a great help for me to become an effective teacher in the future. It will also be beneficial to both teacher and students to use the internet to make and pass assignments and projects in an online class like Edmodo.com.
