The internet has presented so many tools that have made life as a student so much easier...
E-mail is something that practically everyone uses on a daily basis, and it’s such a great communication tool for students and teachers. If I miss a class, I can e-mail the teacher or another student to get the notes and assignments and I don’t have to fall behind.
Another fantastic tool that the internet gives students is access to the school’s library from home. When I need to conduct research and find scholarly journal articles for my psychology courses, I don’t have to make the commute to campus. I can sign in from home and search a full catalog of resources.
ISIS – our student datebase, which is another tool that is only available because of the internet, helps me keep track of my gpa, grades, classes that I need for my degree, my school finances, which courses I am enrolled in, etc. Without it, we would only be able to acquire this information by contacting the school or taking the hike to the campus. I would hardly be able to find the time to do this on a regular basis.
One of the most convenient tools that has impacted my life so greatly, and I can thank the internet for it: online classes. Numerous bills make working full time a necessity, and working full time makes it hard to find the time to take college courses, but having a class online that I can do from home makes it possible for me to find a balance. I can do school from home.
Without the internet, I don’t even know how I would survive college. How the heck did people do it before?
