Here's a video about Internet and Education:
The
Internet, shortly termed “net” has become an important part of education as
a whole (from administrative to actual teaching and learning process). The
Internet is a network system of many systems. It is not a network, rather, a
collection of networks across the globe from which computers access. It does
not have an owner, no central office and it does not tell users information of
what is available in the system – the user searches it. Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is a set of standardized rules for exchange
of data. To access to the Internet, a computer must have a server which has
software that uses Internet protocol. Internet is used not only in education
but almost in all industries and fields. Vast amount of information can be
accessed in the Internet, both old and up-to-date information. Browsing is the
way of going through the net through a program called browser. The number of
Internet users are growing every day. Every now then, people and companies
requiring its services gets many by the minute.

Along
with Internet development is the rise of educational software materials. Both
teachers and learners are now provided with vast choices of software to use. It
is up to them how to make use of those effectively.
EXPERIENCE
If
it were not because of the Internet, I would have not reached where I am right
now. I must say, a big percentage of college students graduated college because
of the internet. Since the Internet provides everything, I make use of it in the
utmost way possible. Searching in the net provides immediate information about
something but I don’t trust everything that results when I hit the search bar.
The
internet has revolutionized me from being spoon-fed learner to being an independent
learner. I have learned through time that I can learn on my own, at my own
pace, at my own time, by my own preference and interest. With the Internet, I get
to communicate with distant friends and get to travel (not really travel, like
transfer from place to another; travel in a sense) to different places by being
able to see other places by researching it.
REFLECTION
Although
the Internet may provide everything, it is important for a learner to examine
the information he/she is getting from the net. Not everything in it is reliable,
some are just made by people for fun. As said above, anything can be found in
the net, even bad information. Hence, the teacher must never forget to guide the learners in choosing the right sources or right way of researching
and examining information.
APPLICATION

| Internet in education |
As
a future teacher, I must make use of the internet in making my lessons and
teaching as a whole, better. I must make use of sites that offers simulation
activities for my students to experience. I must makes use of the information
from the Internet for me to be updated. I must let my students explore the net for them to develop the zest for learning on their own. I should give
researching activities to develop my students’ researching skills and
evaluative skills in selecting good and reliable sources. I must conform to the
trend for me not to be out of place in teaching the 21st century students.
