Lesson 16 “THE INTERNET AND EDUCATION”

          The internet, also simply called the NET is the largest and far flung-network system-of-all-systems. Surprisingly, the internet is not really a network but a loosely organize collection of about 25,000 networks accessed by computer on the planet. It is astonishing to know that no one owns the internet. It has no central headquarters, no centrally offered services, and no comprehensive online index to tell users what information is available in the system.

 

GETTING AROUND THE NET 

The vast sea of information now and the internet, including news and trivia, is an overwhelming challenge to those who wish to navigate it.

This educational activity prodded by their schools are paying dividends from increasing the pupils interest in Geography to a greater understanding of how people live in large cities and other places in the United States or the world.
