Internet Communication Impact in Education

The use of Internet Communication has a huge impact on education in this present time. It is the main source teachers use to communicate with students to inform them of cancelled classes, tests and quizzes, and exam dates. The University goes to the extent of setting up every student with a university e-mail account that teachers can reach them at. One type of social networking that teachers use is the blackboard vista. It is a class website where teachers go on and post notes, grades, test dates, and attendances. Some teachers also require students to go on live discussions with other classmates through blackboard. In my psychology class freshman year we had weekly blog assignments about various topics through blackboard vista. Another internet tool we use for education is ISIS. It is a server that the University uses to allow students to add/drop classes and view their course schedules. Students can also view their entire financial portfolio from this website.
