The way in which we use the Internet for educational purposes has risen in recent years and is slowly becoming an essential skill that is needed in todays every day life. The ways in which we use the Internet for educational purposes are: for revision, research, VLE (virtual learning environment), my maths and e.mail.
Revision
This would include such websites as BBC Bitesize. This site can provide you with help for almost every subject such as: English, Maths, Geography, Spanish and ICT. As well as catering for every subject there is also a choice of what level to chose from which includes: KS3 and GCSE. This site can help you with revision as it offers a wide range of topics as well as a choice of "revise" "activity" or "test" as some would suit people better then others.
As well as BBC Bitesize there is another site purely for the benefit of revision which is My Maths. this site allows you to do log onto your own account and do your homework online which will then get logged, you are given help before you actually start answering questions so that you would hopefully then be able to understand what it is that you need to do in order to answer the questions correctly. This site also allows you to find out what your strengths and weaknesses are and then will enable you to focus on the topics that you struggle with.
VLE
This would include the virtual learning environment called Frog, you have your own account which you are able to log into and then use for a number of different reasons including: to check your time table, this enables you to know what lesson you have that day, who with and what room. Another way of using frog is to set homework which will appear in "my set tasks" as well as this you are able to access your school documents which is a huge advantage as you will be able to do this all from the comfort of your own home.
E-Mail
E.Mail has become a very important part of online education as if you do not attend a lesson you can e.mail your teacher and ask them what they did in class, this is important because if you do not keep up to date with your work you will fall behind. As well as this you could also use e.mail to ask your teacher for help if you don't understand the homework that has been set.
