Internet for Education

When I decided to start writing about something on my blog, this was the most obvious topic that came to my mind. Working in this field for last few years and the passion for technology in general, has certainly brought me to a point where I would like to share this knowledge that I have gained.

When I started researching a bit about this before writing, I came to a conclusion that there could be a complete series of articles that could be written. Starting from using Internet and mobile/tablet Apps for kindergarten kids for stories and learning alphabets, to using internet for free courses for those who were not able to pursue their dream of education or learning as well as for those who would like to gain insights of courses not directly related to their academics but are still useful. 

Education is a top priority for individuals and families even though it might cost a good amount of families’ resources because people are increasingly becoming aware that education is the only thing that can change the living conditions of a family and society in general. And internet has become a medium for the educators to reach larger masses and thus provide equal opportunity to all students to learn and get educated.  

Internet has always been a source of information and knowledge about anything and everything. Search engines like Google, Bing and yahoo have brought this information at your hand by predicting exactly what you would be looking for when you type in something on the browser. Students, parents and teachers use this information for their studies, homework, assignments and projects. But the magic of internet truly amaze us, when students in a remote village can view the lectures and ask questions to the professor, who is physically teaching in a metro city, yet available to so many others for guidance at the same time. Growing speed of internet and decrease in cost of equipments has made this possible today. And with this we know the future of education is brighter and location would not bar one’s right to get good guidance and knowledge.

When I started with PREXAM, I didn’t really make a conscious choice and it just happened. But now when I look back, I feed proud to be the part of the community struggling to create equal opportunity for education to all. So I will start writing this series with a dearest topic to me: PREXAM.
