Lesson 16: The Internet and Education
This
lesson discusses about internet which is also called as net. 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 Browser that uses mouse to point and click on screen icons to surf in
the internet, particularly the World Wide Web (the web), an Internet' s subset
of text, images, and sounds are linked together to allow users to access data
or information need. Internet gives connection to the world outside and
advantages to access information.
As
to the experience, every time I used my broadband for me to have an access on
internet is a clear evidence of how I used internet as a tool in education. By
that, I have an access to the different applications like Mozilla Firefox,
Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, etc. which I will used these applications for
me to work with my assignments, projects, online exams and even socializing
with others.
As
to the reflection, 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 which 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 through the internet by using different 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.
As an application, the 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. But we should not always rely on it
because not all information given through the internet is reliable and valid. The
school today are gearing up to take advantage of internet access, where they
can plug into the library of congress, make virtual visits to famous museums in
the world. Even in the schools mostly of the teachers used a laptop to their
students or the learners, which is not a good habit as a teacher. By that, we should
use the internet in a good way as well as not merely rely on it, for whatever
happen book will always be a book and internet will always be an internet.
