▶ Your Answer : Some people might think that internet is not useful for students in learning. However, in my opinion, students can learn more effectively by utilizing the internet. This is because students can find numerous available sources for their learning on the internet, and they can find information they want to know much easily by using the internet.
To begin with, students can utilize a lot of sources for their learning online. They can study much more effectively by purchasing online textbooks and enrolling in online classes while not attending to their schools or academies in person. This can reduce their time wasting, and studying with online materials is much cheaper for students than studying at the schools or academies. For example, when I tried to restudy CSAT in South Korea, which is an official national test necessary for entering into the universities in South Korea, I had not attended any academies, but studied through online lectures with online textbooks. This could allow me to save a lot of money since it was much cheaper for me to buy online textbooks than written and printed materials and taking online classes was less costly for me than attending many academies in person. And as a result of these, I could improve my overall grade at my second CSAT exam and apply for more prestigious universities at that year. This can prove that studying with online materials can be effective for students in learning.
On top of that, it is now available for students to find much of information they want to know very easily by utilizing the internet. Students sometimes can have questions while studying various subjects. However, they may have to wait until tomorrow to get the answers, since they cannot contact with their professors immediately, such as late at night, or they cannot buy books containing information related to their unknown materials after the bookstores are closed. However, they can solve these problems by typing few words on the websites of the Internet, such as Google, and might be able to get much of the information they want to know very easily without any delays. According to a survey conducted by the University of Texas, more than 70% of students said that they had sometimes faced problems that they could not solve their questions regarding their studying materials immediately since they could not reach to the sources which can provide them with answers of their questions, such as their professors or certain books. However, more than 80% of students who agreed to this experience said that they could solve their questions by looking for the contents regarding their unknown materials by using the Internet. By searching information they want to know on the websites of the Internet, they could have gotten answers for their questions most of the time.
To sum up, students can utilize the Internet to find information which would contain answers about their questions they have had during the study, and Internet can provide them with a lot of sources to refer to or take for their learning with more cheaper prices. In this regard, I think that Internet can help students learn more effectively. |
