Big changes happend after 1992, when the Internet started to work commercially. Today in 2010, the Internet is an enourmous medium, every child in modern high-tech society knows how to work with it. So there is a question, how to educate children to become literate in 21st century.
A lot of teachers have obsolete customs in education. Some of them don´t know computers at all. I think, this may be a problem. If they don´t adapt to the ever-changing needs of the students, it will be difficult to communicate and teach with their world in mind.
Modern children love computers, for example in the Czech republic, there is a new draft bill about school script. Our writing characters are old-fashioned and very difficult for today's children. New type of characters is called Comenia script, it´s mostly like a computer types. Maybe it is a normal progress, because our school script is about 80 years old.
Working with the Internet at school have plenty of advantages. We can work continually, solve problems and do homework at home. We are in contact with a teacher all the the time, everything is quick. We can find information immediatelly. We can also collaborate with foreign student at some projects.
There was an interesting quotation and I like it:
„We can´t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.“
But my opinions is that we can´t rely on the Internet at everything. At some point a computer will exceed the human brain. We are becoming to dependent on computers. A lot of people have the whole life on the Internet. The system maybe crash one day and the world will go crazy.
