Advances in technology have led to the birth of many new methods of electronic communication, such as social networking websites, instant messages and emails. The increase of electronic communication has helped to eliminate time and distance as obstacles to communication. This has been beneficial to many parts of society, including , education. Computer-mediated communication also helps to make research more convenient for us.
We are beginning to see lectures in the form of online videos as well as using Twitter ,wiki, blog and Facebook as platforms to discuss and share materials from the classroom.
In this course Edu401 we start to create account in many sites like yahoo group ,blog, wiki space and delicious. I find it very interesting ,sharing experiences and gaining information. during my academic study I am using online wiki to learning and search due to this site content richer of info, also I have my site on facebook to connect with other classmate. In addition, we can used Skype to improve language skills by communicating with foreigners through internet calls.
Thus, the technology plays a big part in facilitating the future of learning.
