How Students Can Benefit From the Internet

Students today have access to the internet at home, school, and cyber cafes. The power of the internet allows us to do things that were unimaginable years ago. One such example is attending classes sitting across a continent.

The internet is now a necessity more than a privilege in disseminating knowledge. Even Government schools have adapted to the digital era. JGS Kokapet uses the power of the internet effectively in the learning process. In a regulated and safe environment, the Internet helps students widen their academic horizons and keep up with the latest global happenings.

How the internet benefits students 

1. Access to knowledge: With a few clicks, the internet allows students to access a vast treasure trove of information on their subjects of interest. It replaces the heavy encyclopaedias that were popular until about two decades ago. All it takes is a lightweight smartphone/tab/laptop and an internet pack to remain connected globally. Students can collaborate with one another and share information quickly. 
2. Online classes: It allows students to attend special classes within the safety, comfort and convenience of their homes or even on a holiday trip. They can sign up for a special class on topics of their interest, attend coaching classes for entrance exams, attend virtual tuitions after school or sometimes attend school classes itself in unusual situations. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the internet saved the day for millions of students worldwide through online classes and exams.
3. Creative expression: Students can use the internet to write a blog, learn music or instruments, paint or colour, be a part of a science, maths, or other club and challenge their creative potential. They can also hone their skills in activities such as video production, photography, coding, graphic design, animation and more. They can exchange creative ideas with their peers and learn from each other.
4. Learning resources: It reduces the load on students to find and carry around big books. Type in the topic name in the search bar and Google lists out millions of connected sites. From nursery level to Grade 12, students will find plenty of learning resources such as language learning websites, virtual reality experiences and more.
5. Educational games: They stimulate learning interest in students. They connect students worldwide in the mood of fun-based learning. Such games can be played even while holidaying or travelling. 

The benefits continue

6. Lifelong learning: Students cultivated in healthy learning habits on the internet benefit later. Through constant self-improvement, skills development and knowledge-gathering, they set the pace for lifelong growth.
7. Latest updates: The internet empowers students with real-time information, fostering critical thinking and global awareness.
8.  Personalised learning: Adaptive learning platforms online can deliver student-oriented content and assessments using algorithms. So, it allows students to learn at their own pace. 

Therefore, students can engage with text, images, videos, audio recordings and interactive elements to learn better through their sensory channels. Educative YouTube channels or EdTech platforms play a big role in this field.
