Web Technologies Application In Teaching

The largest need in web technologies is seen in digital sciences teaching as they require much information which must be exact and clear for understanding. For example, modern math teaching can apply web technologies. With the realization that new methods of teaching math are needed to improve student comprehension, this investigation considers the use of a web-based activity for teaching students the basic premises of quadrilaterals. Given the fact that web-based activities can help students learn difficult mathematic concepts in a more concrete manner, there is a clear need to consider what has been noted about web-based applications in the process of teaching.

Considering first the overall benefits that can be derived from the process of utilizing web-based exercises to facilitate learning, researchers have noted that changes in pedagogy to ensure that learning experiences of students are commensurate with their real world experiences have created an environment in which educators are challenged to meet this goal. To this end, the use Internet-based curriculum can foster this need for development by providing students with the opportunity to engage in activities that utilize computer technology, a tool most students use for other aspects of daily life. In this manner, learning is facilitated though the process of making education a more realistic experience for the student.

Adding to the benefits that can be garnered from the use of web-based teaching, researchers have also noted that when Internet activities are used for learning, students are given the opportunity to discover and understand information at their own pace. In particular, experts have noted that the use of websites as a means for introducing new concepts can facilitate learning by enabling students to engage with the material in an individual manner that permits them feel comfortable with making mistakes and developing understanding.
