How has the Internet has impacted your own personal learning?
- I think the Internet has allowed me to expand my personal learning because the Internet has made learning instantaneous. I have noticed that when I have questions or am curious about topics I find myself looking it up on the Internet to get answers. Anything that I am interested in knowing or learning is a simple click away.
- I am constantly learning and finding answers on Google. Whenever I have questions or need to look up words I go to Google. I am also a regular learner on Translate Google. I love learning new languages and frequently find myself looking up ways to say words in other languages. I also use Easy-Bib to help me cite proper references for my papers and assignments in school.
- To be honest I didn’t know who had founded the websites I frequently visit. Threw some research I found that Easy-Bib is sponsored and run by Imagine Easy Solutions. I learned that Image Easy Solution was co founded by Darshan Somashekar and Neal Taparia. The two men who founded Google are Larry Page and Sergey Brin.
- I feel the Internet can be a very valuable tool. I think it offers advanced instantaneous learning. However, it can be a distraction. The world of the Internet is so big that there is a lot in its contents. With the Internet there is both good and positive aspects but there are also negative aspects. I think the Internet distracts from learning because of the videos, games, music, and more that seem to entice people more than learning.
- I feel that technology has enhanced learning. I have noticed children who are so far advanced in reading, writing, math and more because of the technology programs that are offered. I believe the children of the technological age are going to be intellectually advanced because of the many skills they are learning at such a young age. Some of this technology is game related but most of the children’s programs are learning based and I feel this will benefit the next generations to come.
