Internet & Education

                       This is very wide topic & we can discuss very much on this topic. Internet is treasure of knowledge. We have to learn a subject,named- " communication skills" , in first year @ University. We are supposed to talk about advantages & disadvantages of Internet at University level. When we speak on this topic, they check 2 things-
1)Our knowledge about Internet.
2)whether we have sense of good & bad or not.
                       But I think Internet should be added as a subject @ Secondary level in school. They should be introduced with advantages & taught to avoid disadvantages.
                       If you are a frequent user of Internet, then you must know about "Khan Academy". You can learn whatever you learn @ school through best medium of learning -'videos'.
                       There are many sites available on Internet,Using them you can enrich your knowledge on various topics. One of them is "www.Howstuffworks.com". This site is constructed for curious people.
First you will read this sentence on site probably-' Learn How everything works '. You will find very interesting stuff on this site, related with things around you. You will also find some ' top 10' & ' top 5' like stuff on this site if you are curious.
                       If you love to read about history then I can suggest you a site- "www.History.com". Yes, you all know about History channel, same owner. There is one amazing feature on this site- 'This day in History' It enables you to see some benchmarks in history occurred on your birthday.
                       I haven't copied & pasted this information here. But I like to access such sites. I have visited all these sites & I have just written my experience.
                      If you are fond of reading books then I am going to introduce heaven for you. "www.bookchums.com" & "www.free-ebooks.net" are wonderful sites. You can access over 50,000 Free ebooks in 'Free ebooks' section of "www.bookchums.com". You can download any ebook. You will also find thousands of ebooks on "www.Free-ebooks.net", but if you create free account then you can download 5 books per month. You just need to log in through your existing facbook or google account to download free ebooks from bookchums, no limts as "www.Free-ebooks.net".
                     If you have smartphone then you can download some very useful apps from "Education" section of Google play,App store & Market place. You only need desire & strength to capture information.
Not just only students but, teachers should also visit such sites & apps. I want to suggest that, If possible students should be allowed to open such sites once in a week in schools.
