Education

One type of online learning is the www.bbc.co.uk/learning
This offers students the chance to complete many activites and tutorials. It has information on many subjects and ranges from KS2 up to A-level, so there for is suitable for all. It is also a very reliable source of learning. It had fun games as another way of learning and also short film clips for certain subjects. It suitable for everyone to use and is a good way of revising and practising work and there is plenty to learn.

There are also websites that shows you step by step ways of completing your work on the computer, such as ,www.macromedia.com. This is very useful and enables students to work indepently and also complete work at home. As, sometimes when a person explains how to use Dreamweaver it is not easy to understand and websites such as the Macromedia website explains how to do things step by step. It is a great source of learning for students, although it is difficult to fins these in many subjects.

There are also 'Learning objects' that many companies market to the educational market. These are very useful for teachers as well as students and is an easy way of demonstrating something clearly to the whole class. It is also a different and interesting way to learn that students can use at home or during school/college. Once again, you are limited to which topics you can find them on, however, they are still good sources of learning and can be a great way of improving a students skills on the computer, which can help them most subjects.

There is also 'simulations', such as www.netfrog.com. The website Netfrog allows students to look at a series of images showing the close dissection of a frog. This is very useful for students studying biology or animal rights. It is also very fascinating and it is possible to fins simulations on many different topics. However, it is not as beenficial as carrying out a dissection or watching it in real life, althought some people have issues with such things and therefore would prefer to watch it on the internet. I do not think it si the best way of learning, however, it can be used as a back-up to reienforce information already learnt, as it is a different way of learning.
