Education online: the basics
Children – and adults – can learn in a way that is more exciting than most lessons or lectures. You get the chance to concentrate on what interests you, and your learning is enhanced by a range of audio-visual treats such as interactive pictures, sound effects or video clips. In fact, the Internet is probably the best ‘multimedia’ learning system available.
Better still, you’re free to go at your own pace. You don’t have to keep up with others, or wait for them if they are slower to understand than you.
Find material that matches ‘your level’
Most school textbooks are set at an ‘average’ level which can leave behind children with slower learning abilities, while boring those able to go faster, quicker. On the Internet, children can easily locate educational material at the right learning stage for them, and if they can’t find what they want, all they have to do is join a chat room or post a Usenet message and someone will have a suggestion for them within hours, if not minutes. Such a sharing of information just isn’t as easy in the ‘real world’ of books and paper.
