LESSON 16 The Internet and Education

Everything coordinated in the Internet through a standardized protocol (or set of rules for exchanging data) called Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). To gain access to the Internet, the computer must be equipped with what is called a Server which has a special software (program) that uses the Internet protocol.
The vast sea of information now in the Internet, including news and trivia, is an overwhelming challenge to those who wish to navigate it. The most attractive way to move around the Internet is called browsing. Using a program called a browser, 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 to access data or information needed.

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. But the real possibility today is connecting with the world outside homes, classrooms, and Internet cafes. 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.
The Internet and Education is always connected to each other because, when one speak the word “Internet”, the word that will come into our mind is the “information”, and information, data and facts are always related to field of education so that we cannot deny the fact that they are close to each other. A computer with Internet Connection is very essential for us. This is due to the fact that I can keep in touch with my family and friends, and also, I can get bunch of information though it.
