  2. learning activity Directions: • Visit this interactive website on the Internet Live Stats URL: http://www.internetlivestats.com/ • Interact with this website in five minutes and record the latest statistical data reported per day on the following: • Videos viewed _________________________ • Facebook active users _________________________ • Twitter active users _________________________ • Photos uploaded on Instagram _________________________ • Pinterest active users _________________________ • Skype calls _________________________

  3. learning activity • You may look for additional data on the usage of the internet in this site. • After five minutes, share your insights and learning experiences while catching up with the speedy transmission of internet statistical data and information.

  4. introduction • According to Brantner, (as cited in Nield, 2016) in his report at Motherboard, the reach of the web continues to grow rapidly: there are now 3.4 billion people online (46.1% of the world’s population), while internet-savvy young adults spend an average of 27 hours online every week. • Users across the Globe typically perform 54,907 Google searches, 7,252 tweets, 125,406 YouTube video views and send 2,501,018 emails every second – numbers that are only growing larger as more people get online (Nield, 2016).

  5. introduction • As pre-service teachers, what are these statistical figures trying to tell you? • To what extent will these developments in the internet and the World Wide Web affect or transform today’s education?

  6. The internet and the world wide web • “ Internet is a collection of wires, cables and networks. It is a network of networks connecting thousands, millions or even billions of other networks. It is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to link billions of devices worldwide.” (Internet, n.d.).

  7. The internet and the world wide web • World Wide Web or Web for short is basically a system of Internet servers that support specially formatted documents. • The documents are formatted in a mark-up language called HTML (HyperTextMarkup Language) that supports links to other documents, as well as graphics, audio, and video files (Beal, n.d.).

  8. The internet and the world wide web • The World Wide Web may likewise be defined as an information system on the Internet that allows documents to be connected to other documents by hypertext links, enabling the user to search for information by moving from one document to another. • The internet is like a megamall, and the websites are like stores inside the megamall. The act of surfing in the net is also like window shopping.

  9. Historical development of the Internet and the world wide web • September 2, 1969 – marks the birth of the Internet. Historical record tells us that it is on this day that two computers communicated with each other. • October 29, 1969 – message was sent from computer to computer in different locations. • January 1, 1983 – ARPANET adopted the standard TCP/IP protocol. • March 1989 – Tim Berners - Lee invented the World Wide Web.

  10. Historical development of the Internet and the world wide web • The first email was sent in 1971 and Mosaic became the first web browser. (Cellania, 2009). • According to an infographic from social media monitoring platform Simplify360, there are three eras to show the development of social media, namely; The Primitive Era, The Medieval Era, and The Golden Era(Morrison, 2015).

  19. Basic web-related terms and concepts • Bandwidthrefers to the amount of information your connection to the Internet can carry, usually measured in bits per second. • ISP is short for “Internet Service Provider,” it’s the company that provides you with access to the Internet. • URL is the abbreviation of Uniform Resource Locator. URL is the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web.

  20. Basic web-related terms and concepts • The first part of the URL is called a protocol identifier and it indicates what protocol to use, and the second part is called a resource name and it specifies the IP address or the domain name where the resource is located. • The protocol identifier and the resource name are separated by a colon and two forward slashes.

  21. Basic web-related terms and concepts • Domain name is a name that identifies a computer or computers on the Internet. These names appear as a part of a Website’s URL. For example, in www.bkmediagroup.com – bkmediagroup is the domain name. • Fold is the line past which someone has to scroll to see more content. Everything that shows up when a page first loads is “above the fold” and “below-” or “after the fold” refers to the content further down the page. This is a web-design term.

  22. Basic web-related terms and concepts • Browser is the software you use to view web pages such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer. These are some of the more common browsers, although there are others like Safari and Opera. • HTML is short for “HyperTextMarkup Language.” It is a cross-platform language for creating and formatting web pages.

  23. Basic web-related terms and concepts • Hyperlink is an electronic connection between one web page to either other web pages on the same website (internal linking), or web pages located on another website (external linking). • Navigation refers to the process by which users access information on the internet. Usually when we use the term, we’re talking about the menus, links, icons and buttons on your site, along with where they are and where they take a use.

  24. Basic web-related terms and concepts • PDF is short for “Portable Document Format,” they were first developed by Adobe. The idea behind the PDF was to create a file format that is not dependent on applications, software, hardware or software for proper viewing. • Every PDF file has a complete description of a document, including the text, fonts, graphics, and other information needed to display it.

  25. Basic web-related terms and concepts • Search Engine is a program that searches documents for specified keywords and returns the list of documents. A search engine has two parts, a spider and an indexer. • The spider is the program that fetches the documents, and the indexer reads the documents and creates an index based on the words or ideas contained in each document. (Glossary of Website Terms, n.d.)

  26. Instructional value of the internet and the web • Access to knowledge and information • Access to instructional resources • Extended learning opportunities • Support lifelong learning • Support Computer-Based Instruction • Support delivery of distance learning programs • Promote, facilitate and support other academic functions such as; enrolment, access to program of instruction, and serves as communication channel between and among parents, teachers and students • Support social media apps such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and others.

  27. Collaborative learning activity 3 Scenario Building • Each group is tasked to create a scenario illustrating the educational application of the internet or the day-to-day applications of the internet. • Each scenario should reflect some issues and concerns or problems relative to the use of the internet. • Analyze, discuss and put in context the various issues and concerns presented in the scenario. • Suggest solutions to these issues and concerns. • Each group has 5-7 minutes to present their scenario through a role-play.

  28. Collaborative learning activity 3 Title of Scenario: _______________________ _________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

  29.

  30. Websites evaluation criteria • Due to the rapid development in information and communication technology, it is difficult to define standards in web evaluation. Abdullah (1998), suggests the following checklist derived from the summary of criteria for evaluating websites. • Technical considerations • Purpose • Content • Authorship and Sponsorship • Functionality • Design/Aesthetics

  31. Websites evaluation criteria • It is important for you teachers to focus on the evaluation of the web resources or materials you find in the website. • Alexander and Tate (1996-1998-updated in 2001) cited five criteria for evaluating web resources, namely: • Accuracy • Authority • Objectivity • Currency • Coverage

  32. accuracy • How reliable and free from error is the information? • Are there editors and fact checkers? • Almost anyone can publish on the web. Many Web resources not verified by editors and/or fact checkers. • Web standards to ensure accuracy not fully developed.

  33. authority • What are the author’s qualifications for writing on the subject? • How reputable is the publisher? • It is often difficult to determine authorship of Web resources. • If author’s name is listed, his/her qualifications are frequently not mentioned. • Publisher’s responsibility is often not indicated.

  34. objectivity • Is the information presented with minimum of bias? • To what extent does the information sway the opinion of the web visitor? • Web often functions as a “virtual soapbox”. • The goals/aims of persons or groups presenting the material are often not clearly stated.

  35. currency • Is the content of the work up to date? • Is the publication date clearly indicated? • The dates are not always included on Web pages. If included, a date may have various meanings such as: • Date first created • Date placed on web • Date last revised

  36. coverage • What topics are included in the work? • To what depth are topics explored? • Web coverage may differ from print or other media coverage. • It’s often hard to determine the extent of web coverage.

  37. Collaborative learning activity 4 • Look for at least one Website that will provide you with the empirical knowledge and understanding about a specific topic in your field of specialization. • Using the five techniques or criteria in evaluating Web resources, assess the validity and authenticity of your chosen site. • Write your answers in the empty spaces provided in the right portion of the column. • The group leader will share his group’s output in class.
