Why use the Internet for projects like this?
There are countless positive impacts that the Internet can have on education at all levels. For rural areas in particular, the universal access to information that the Internet offers is an incredibly positive force, allowing almost anyone to find the answers to basic questions simply, easily and quickly. It helps education in that when someone is curious about something – and therefore in the ideal state of mind to learn – they can find out some information to feed their hunger to learn immediately.
So if a child is curious about the ants in the backyard, wants to know more about dinosaurs or mythology – or even wonders how old the Ash tree in the local forest is! – there is a wealth of information at ones fingertips, allowing anyone with a connection to enhance and expand on their knowledge.
