Essay 1

Using internet in education

The internet is very important for education. Many teachers use the internet to explain the lesson. Also students use internet for helping them with their projects and their course work. One of these webs is web 2.0 .This web is useful for students and teacher. In this essay I will write about how the education developed through the internet and how it can be used.

First of all, I will start in what the students see or by vision of k 12 students today. They see they want to share information with each other. The second point is that the students want to use their emails to receive the tasks from their teachers, also as the students see in vision of k 12 they see learn by doing. It means, they want to work by and to know or to explain the idea. The vision of k12 students today is use technology in education.

Web 2.0 is one of the good webs to see technology in teaching. Web 2.0 uses the new technology in the new teaching methods. It has many benefits. One of these benefits is making the students life easier, because this web is easy to use and very clear. Moreover, this web has good software that helps the students to get their information faster.

It possible to compare between web 1.0 and web 2.0. Web 1.0 used for news. For example BBC and html. On the other hand we have web 2.0, this web is more dynamic than web 1.0, because web 2.0 easier than web 1.0. The other thing that could compare between them is when can we use the information. Web 1.0 like what I said at the beginning of this paragraph using for news, but Web 2.0 is different than web 1.0. Web 2.0 used for companies. Web 2.0 features holograms better then Web 1.0. This feature is free web based apps.

Web 2.0 has many benefits, like mentioned previously; we can learn new language by blog, wikis, podcasts and videos. I will explain each one separately. I will start a blogger in the beginning. A blog is important to students and for teachers for sure, because in the blog you can post homework’s required by the teacher in the class and you can communicate directly to the teacher. The second thing is wikis. In this you can do your project to can do some researches on it to find required information. Podcasts are the third thing I will explain. Podcasts using also to contact with other people from other countries by voice. Podcasts is one of many ways to learn a new language.

I believe that the development of internet was one of the greatest developments that effected many things other than education. It mostly influenced education because it made both the lives of students and teachers very easy. Although books must not be forgotten as well for all this started by the studying through books.
