Internet Troubles May Occur!
After reading the encounter Samantha had with regards to her internet (A point to consider), I could really sympathies, as it has been my biggest problem these last couple of months. THE PROBLEMS WITH INTERNET!!
I don’t know what I would do if I wasn’t able to check my email for any reason on any one day, but I do know that I would not be very happy. The internet is so rapidly becoming apart of everyone’s day to day life, just like the mobile phone has. Today, young people especially, don’t know what to do with themselves if they leave their phone behind for 1 hour, let alone a whole day. The internet is having the same effect. This would be my only real concern with incorporating large lessons into the classroom involving the internet. As I stated this story in Samantha’s blog;
On my last two practicum’s, my classes were in the computer labs, with a lesson plan ready, all the children logged on (20 minutes later – year 1 class) I was to discover that the internet was down. This can cause a lot of stress to the teacher and disappointment to students,
As I said in the Samantha’s edublog the real lesson is to have a back up lesson just in case.
I do strongly believe though, that the internet is an extremely invaluable teaching method!
