‘The best way to educate children is by using the Internet in every lesson.’ To what extent do you share this opinion? What other ways are there of making lessons effective for children?

Cyberspace has infiltrated almost every aspect of a living being and the field of education is no exception. The

Internet

is being used to make learning more effective which in my opinion is not a viable option. It may be appealing

initially

, but some analysis will show that it is not a key method and other options are preferable.

First,

we should ask what is the purpose of the

Internet

in the field of learning. It is probably true that

this

tactic would make knowledge from different parts of the world available at their disposal in a short span of time, but only an interactive session with a tutor will help them grasp and understand the subject. The example of the University shows that irrespective of content available on the

internet

, students still prefer to join the course in the institute in order to learn the subject.

Secondly

, there is widespread concern that excessive usage of the

internet

through devices like mobile phones may cause a significant amount of stress on the eyes of the user,

thus

affecting the

overall

well-being of the student. Turning to the possible alternatives, the most effective would be a practical way of learning.

This

means providing hands-on experience

along with

the theory class would boost the process of learning.Examples can be seen in medical schools where practical sessions of subjects like anatomy help learners to make the class more interesting

as well as

retainable. Another possible option could be to present the information using graphical and tabular presentations which will achieve the task of making data more understandable.

To conclude

, we have seen the

Internet

is of limited effectiveness and superficial. Better class presentations and practical sessions will make learning more efficient and interactive.
