Week 5- Power of internet for learning

Education

Education has become something which all of us tries to goes through; climbing higher and higher for the qualification.

But if we think about it, is education important? Or we made it became something which all of us need.

Everyone will agree that education directs a path to our future. The higher the qualification you have the brighter your future is.

For me, education is not everything.

That is not the way we should think about education.

It is important for us to learn but not learning for the sake of learning.

We should let our creativity fly.

We can’t blame the educators for thinking that education is the most important thing. They have live through their education process bombarded with that mindset.

But...What had we exchanged for, for education?

 Empathy. Compassion. 

Now, everything is about going to the net

Okay…not that kind of net

We should be thinking about how to “save” our generation. 

I have worked in a kindergarten and childcare for a period of time. I really LOVE kids. 

I feel a lot about education especially educating kids from young. I want to be a teacher but the traditional methods of teaching drives me away. We should be catering to them. Not them catering to our traditional education.

They are living in a world where internet is all over the place…SO….

                                  How can we use internet to enhance education?

(Instead of telling you all what you all might have known)

Let me talk about how internet WILL help in educating our nation’s future (the next generation of children)

In the near future, everything will be on the internet. Teachers are going to be on the screen with 4D effects.

You can use all your senses to learn-not just memorizing the textbook

We can use our senses to help us learn. In that way, we will learn better.

To make experience real!

In addition to the 4D effect, the e-learning will be personalized to the individual. Even in psychology, we cannot perfectly study human beings. We cannot confirm anything about human beings despite the effort in making psychology a scientific-based. Why we can’t?

Because every human being is unique; we can’t find a replication of a human being.

Therefore, e-learning (in the future) will cater to the students based on their capability and level of knowledge. If the student does not have the foundation, the internet will have notes for them to learn. Furthermore, based on their interest, they learn what they like. At the same time, student will be learning those subjects that are essential for living.

We can make internet a better place to learn. Let us make the internet work for us. Not us working for the internet. 

We can make use of the internet to educate our future generation.
