TASK 1 ICT in Language Learning

SUMMARY

                Nowdays, internet is like a primary thing. Everything that we will do, sometimes wi need internet. In education, a teacher will ask his/her students to use internet for the learning process. They can use internet to browse the material they can use to add their knowledge. Thay can use ebook to get many books from internet easily. For other people, they can use internet like for selling or buying something, usually we call it online-shop. They also can use internet for online baking, online office suites, shopping cart software, teleconferencing, electronic ticket, etc. Using internet is very easy now, we can use our mobile or smartphone for accessing internet every time and every where we want. It’s an evidence that how useful internet is.

                If we use internet, we usually find a word or some words ( usually the color of those are blue) that if we click it, it will refer to another web page that have the similar context with them.  We can call it as hypertext. From hypertext, we can freely get many things (text) from one web page to another, go forward or back.

                There is also hypermedia. Hypermedia is like hypertext, but hypermedia is combination between hypertext and multimedia, like images or sounds or animations. So hypermedia not only contain links but also some forms of sounds, images, animation or videos.

                Actually, Internet can give us some advantages and disadvantages. It depends on how we use internet well or not. For the advantages are we can access everythat that we want, we can know what happen in other countries by browsing the news through internet, and we can do some innovation from it. But at the same time, there are some disadavantages like virus threat that can destroy our pc or mobile phone that we use to browse internet, and some worrying for the teachers if their students used internet for the materials not connected with the learning process.
