I've compiled a list of educational sites. Google rules for it, basically you can learn anyhting.\n\nSpecial focus on MIT opencourseware\n\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/education.php

I think first on the list would be communication.  Computing technology allows for massively improved communication.  It is easier (look how easy it it was for you to contact me).  It is quicker (imagine how many months it would have taken you to get answers to your questions if you'd had to use snail mail).  And the content is much richer (you can send anything at all to me except touch, taste and smell---and they're working on them!)\n\nSecond on the list would probably be information.  Communication and information are very much associatated, but let's look specifically at the content of what you can send and receive.  You can send me anything at all that fits in the audio or visual range.\n\nAnd then there's the fact that the use of computers makes our lives easier.  They are execellent at doing complex calculations for us.  They allow us to simulate things rather than actually doing them (that, I understand, is how the USA continues to develop its nuclear weapons: through simulation... but you might want to check that fact).\n\nFor more information you might like to make your way through the links on this page\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computing\n\nGood luck

Yea if you can connect to an ethernet connection at your school or work, it will get you on the internet fast and free, but you have to have an ethernet network to connect to to make it useful.

No. The use of information technology will aid the teachers better inform their pupils about the world.\nMoreover the role of teacher would be more important and stronger as only teachers will tell you where to find correct information and what is right and what is wrong.\nSo, i think IT will complement the role of teacher rather than lessening it.

How about an online education?  Many reputable colleges are now offering degrees where the majority of classes can be taken via the web.

One benefit is that you can get a lot of questions answered (such as this one :)\n\nAnother benefit is that you can communicate, do various transactions, apply for services, etc. very easily, from the comfort of your home, at any time, regardless of where the other party is located, provided that both parties use the internet.\n\nAnd third, you can learn a lot of new things, read news, articles on various topics, etc., and it's all interactive, very unlike TV for example where you have a fixed set of channels and can't send anything back.

I think you might want to research on the effects of internet on children's study habits.  Does it improve their study habits or does it overload them with information?  You may either focus your survey on an age range, say for high school students, or on a certain territory, or on a specific subject matter, say science. I'm not sure what methods of research you would be capable of doing by now but this may have either a quantitative approach or you can use expert interviews (delphi method).  Good luck!

yes...it gives you something to do with friends, you're not going to huddle around a computer and shop together.  Internet takes all the fun out of shopping, even though it is fast and very efficient!

Positive impacts:\n\n* Computers enhance the learning experience (Presentations, Animations. E-learning, Lecture podcasting...)\n\n* Computers entertain us: games, breathtaking special effects in movies, better animations...\n\n* The modern generation is aware about the issues related to the "rest of the world" through computers\n\n* Computers help the modern generation to share their knowledge and views with others (blogs, Wikipedia, Yahoo! Answers)\n\n\nNegative Impacts\n\n* Many youngsters have become porn-freaks\n\n* Many youngsters get addicted to there computers - they stay inside and do not indulge in healthy outdoor activities, interaction with friends etc\n\n* Many feel that computers have made us a little lazy

There are a number of universities that already have completely online programs-- all the way from Associates' to Doctorate. There are also virtual high schools in a number of states. However, I don't foresee early education becoming a cyber environment, except for a homeschooling minority. The need for socialization is too important at that level.

You have the internet!  What more do you need?

When used correctly, technology media are very effective as reinforcers for near-mastery material, introducing discussion topics, etc.\n\nMost people learn best when presented information repeatedly, in a variety of formats.

The internet started as a text based means for schools to transfer information. No one owns the web it is just a big net work that everyone connects to and becomes part of.

excellent question. i will try to give my 2 cents\nOpen university has very flexible and relaxed curriculum that you can do using correspondence ( also online sometimes). Admission requirements are very linient too. \nBut online university basically has same requirements and standards that of a normal university but the benefit is that u can do all courses completely online.. that is from ur workplace, home etc. the downside is u don't interact(personally) with other students(yeah chats and all that are there)  or professors.\nBottomline, the open university has the purpose of providing education to people of all background and constraints.. (making more people educated even if the standards needs to be compromised a bit) but the purpose of online university is to provide all education at your doorstep without necessarily compromising in quality (not at least through course structure or grade requirements).

The internet is an amazing piece of technology that allows you to communicate with people (strangers and friends alike) all around the world, which simply isn't possible and/or practical with telephones. In this sense, the internet builds bridges, which helps connect vast groups of people thay wouldn't otherwise communicate with each other.  Examples: myspace, chatrooms, online forums, yahoo answers\n\nHowever, the internet can also builds walls.  Sitting in front of a computer isolates you from local people.  You can lack real human contact, which is important for a fulfilling life.  Also, nowadays, people can do almost everything online: check grades, banking, grocery shopping & other kinds of shopping, etc.  The convenience of doing everything online prevents people from going out to a store or a bank and interacting with people face-to-face.\n\nTo conclude, the internet is both a curse and a blessing.  It can work for you or against you, and this depends on how you choose to use it.
