Using the internet to learn
Technology can be incorporated into education in many ways.
This video explains the advantages of E-learning. It talks about how an individual can learn anywhere and any time, as long as they can connect to the internet on an electronic device. Another benefit is that the student can learn at their own pace. When in class you have to go with the 'flow' of the lesson, however E-Learning allows you to go back over topics which you are not so sure about, as many times as you need until you understand it.

I am currently completing a Child Psychology Diploma Level 4 with 'Online Acadamies' and I am really enjoying the way in which E learning allows me to go at my own pace and to re cap whenever I want.
Video Conferencing
Video conferencing is also a way in which some students learn in today's society. For example some schools do not have the qualified teachers to teach a specific subject. Therefore, video conferencing is set up to allow students to watch online a teacher who will teach a topic.
For example, to learn Chinese in one school a Skype call was set up online with a teacher. Here the teacher instructs the class, the class are also linked to the teacher via webcam and microphone software. If the class have any problems then they simply ask the question and the teacher on Skype will be able to answer any problems the students may face.
Extending the Curriculum
One example of Video conference online is 'WE TEACH', this company enables schools to expand their curriculum choices. For example, a school with a small group of children wanting to learn Latin can provide that option through WeTeach without having to employ another member of staff.
