LESSON 16:

The Internet and Education

The Internet, also called as the Net, is the largest far-flung network system of all systems. The internet is not really a network but a loosely organized collection of about 25,000 networks accessed by computers on the planet.

How is everything coordinated through the internet ? Transmission Control

Protocol / Internet Protocol ( TCP/IP) is a set of standardized rules for exchange of data. To gain access to the Internet, the computer must be equipped with a server which has software that uses the internet protocol.

The great attraction to the internet is that once the sign-up fees are paid there are no extra charges. Electronic mail , for example , is free regardless of the amount of use.

In contrast the individuals using the internet on their personal computers must pay ongoing monthly fees to whoever is their service provider.

Getting Around the Net

The vast sea of information now in the internet, including news and trivia is an overwhelming challenge to these who wish to navigate it.

around the internet.Using a program called browser ( Ex. Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, MSN, and Internet explorer ).

The user can use a mouse to point and click on screen icons to surf the internet , particularly the World Wide Web ( the Web ), an internet’ s subset of text, images, and sounds are linked together to allow users access data or information needed.

A View of Educational uses of Internet

Today, even elementary school graders from progressive countries like USA correspond via e-mail with pen pals in all 50 states. This innovating activity increases the pupils interest to particular subject.

They ask probing questions like ,“ What is your state’s most serious problems” , This Educational activity prodded by their schools are paying dividends from increasing the pupils interest in Geography to a greater understanding.

Educational software materials have also developed both in sophistication and appeal. There is now a wider choice from rote arithmetic or grammar lessons to discovery and innovation projects.

Today schools 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, write to celebrities, and even send questions to heads of states.
