Internet and Education

The internet has become a huge part of our culture today. We use the internet for everything from blogging, to status updates, to research. No matter what the situation, the internet is probably the first place we go to. I plan on going into teaching, so I would assume education is what I'm focusing on. The internet has had a huge impact on education because it has made more resources available to us without having to leave our rooms. Instead of actually going out to the library to find information from books, we can just go to Google or another search engine to find the information we're looking for. And in classrooms, some schools use computers instead of paper to do work. And now we have clicker questions in classrooms as well. Education is rapidly changing with the times and the internet definitely has some sort of impact on that.

  1. There are a lot of uses for the internet in school. While there are many advantages and many other things that can be done with the technology, I am not completely convinced it is all beneficial. I think that there are good uses and bad uses for what we have. You'll have to look through what we have and make a well informed decision. I'm sure you'll come up with a good argument.
