A school project done by our group, The Equals.

1. What is the internet?
With a click of a mouse, we can access information within
seconds on the Internet. The Internet is an amazing and
powerful computer network that joins millions of computers
together all over the world. According to the latest survey in
2009, the results proved that the Internet is accessible to almost
the whole world as there were 16 hundred million users
worldwide, which is about 355 times the number of users in
Singapore. Since the invention of Internet in 1961, it has been
transformed completely in the last few decades, allowing us to
multi-task, search for information instantaneously, network with
the world through social sites, keep abreast with current affairs
, and also for entertainment purposes.

2. The clock is ticking....
We should be time-concious when using internet in class. We should
know how to plan and use the given time wisely. Let’s try not to be
distracted by things such as advertisements on the websites or
changing the font colour/background when doing a task on Microsoft
Powerpoint. We shall plan our time wisely as it is the key to gain acess
to more knowledge. Although we are not monitored, it is important
to keep on task.
In the recent years, the Internet is now increasingly used in schools
for learning and teaching. Initially, educators were afraid that it might
be a source of distraction but in the end, their fears were unfounded
when they did a pilot project on one of the schools. Now, Internet is
very developed and advance; it’s future has yet to come. This proves
that using the Internet for learning is a reliable tool. However, being
as reliable as it is, we still have to remember that we are not ALONE
online, we have to use time wisely as there are much distraction
online. Together, with cooperation with the class teachers, we can use
the internet time-wisely.

3. Watch out on Cyber Space!
As mentioned earlier on, we are not ALONE online. This is why
we have to be self-aware and know cyber-wellness well when on
the cyber space, also known as the virtual world. There might be
plenty of scams online, for instance, an advertisement popping
up online, saying that you can get something for free. If we tend
to believe in these scams, conmen around the net would just be
taking advantage of us innocent people. Also, we have to be
aware and think twice before posting something online. This
is, because, once it is posted there on the cyber wall, it spreads
pretty quickly. The more people who reads it, the more
shares, and the more in trouble we will be. Some tips on cyber
wellness are :
- If you are angry or unhappy about someone, do not post about it online.
Approach a counseller or an adult who can tackle your problem. This is because it
is less difficult to forget what we say rather then the things that we post online.
- Do not share personal particulars/information online.
- Do not chat with strangers.
