Some people say that web content should be used to instruct children. Others think that it is not helpful in an educational setting. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
As the internet improves, people can learn something through web content. For instance, cooking was just the area of cook, but individuals can follow cooking by watching videos on websites. Nonetheless, it is said that web content should be limited to children even for educational purpose. Nevertheless, I firmly believe that web content should actively be used to teach children when considering the limitation of existing learning materials.
On the one hand, children finally can be into entertainment content so that they will leave behind education and focus on watching the content. Since children are the existence of curiosity, curiosity causes them to find out other content. As a result, the original aim, education, will not be achieved. For instance, on Youtube, there are several videos based on various topics. Also, with artificial intelligence, irrelevant videos with education often appear. Children will click them and they will be addicted to them if the video which they choose is funny.
On the other hand, web content can resolve the disadvantage of existing educational material like a book. The material tends to consist of writing and pictures, which have an insufficient explanation. On the contrary, web content makes children easy to understand with many sources. Take the example of English teaching videos on Youtube. They try to use different examples with visual or audial aid to facilitate understanding. As this case reveals, the web content can overcome the limitation of the existing one.
In conclusion, it is undeniable that web
content may fall children in the wrong way. However, the advantage of web
content can contribute to education.
