Online Education - My Sites

I am an experienced consumer of education. I have found five different types of online education on the internet. These are ranked in order of how best I learn via each:

1 - BBC BITESIZE
This is my favourite website for education on the internet; this is because when revising for my exams I found the site a useful resource, especially with the level of detail which the site contains and in a short and concise fashion. Especially as there a number of online simulations which again paints a picture in as few words as possible.

2 - WIKIPEDIA
I enjoy using as an educational resource. This is because you are able to find information on a whole range of topics on one site. In addition, I like the format of the site and the images which are included with the articles.

3 - GEOGRAPHY AT THE MOVIES
This is a website which I again enjoyed using for revision. This site contains a number of movies which are user generated (mainly by geography teachers) for use as you see fit. These are a fun way to recap on a topic and to broaden you knowledge of a particular field, plus I agree that facts are retained when learned in this fashion.

4 - PRIMARY GAMES
This site I have not used for ages, this was a site which I used at primary school. The site contains a number of fun educational games for maths. I enjoyed these games because at that age I suppose I thought that I was not learning as I was too much fun, whereas in reality I was having fun and learning, engaging pupils.

5 - BAY HOUSE VLE
In the past three weeks, a website which I think I have used the most is the school’s virtual learning environment. This is because subject teachers upload work onto the site for you to use, this can be accessed at home and school. Teachers upload PowerPoint presentations, worksheets, work-to-do and other resources. In addition, you are able to upload your work for them to see. I think that this is a useful website, but can only be accessed by the members of the school which means that the site can be trusted.
