Globalization in the fields of Education

Someone had said that "Change is the only permanent thing here on earth", everything else is temporary. We are living in a world that is continuously changing and improving for the benefit of mankind. Now we are living in a world where technology is a part of our everyday human-life. Before, man was satisfied living in the "traditional world" until he discovered he has the power to innovate and improve the world.

There are technological innovations everywhere we go, in the fields of science, math, arts and many more. And maybe the most known technological innovation we known is the internet. It is now possible to communicate with our love-ones through the internet. There are different kinds of communication in the net which includes chatting, sending electronic emails, voice calls, video calls and blogging. Blogs are online diaries where one can post all his/her feelings in the net and make it available in the network. More than that, blogging also helps teachers and students in the field of education. It is said that "learning does not stop on the 4 walls of the classroom". Blogging helps the students to learn more and extend their learning abilities by being more open to their thoughts and insights. It does not limit the capacity of the students only through reading, they can post comments and information which can also help other students who may read their post and teachers as well. In that way, they have also helped others who have the same insights like them. As for teachers, blogging helps their life easier and gives them advantages. Instead of making a web page a blog is simpler. It helps them to communicate easier with their students. Instead of calling or reaching for the students one by one in case of special announcements, they'll just have to post it on the blog so everyone can see it. In that case, no one would be held responsible if someone of the students missed any important announcements but themselves, it is the students responsibility to be checking the daily blog for it has become as a tool in the classroom and plays an important part in learning. Teachers have the freedom to delete or to block any horrendous comment, as for students, it is their responsibility to treat their teachers with utmost respect even if they may not be talking face to face. Their is also so much responsibility when it comes to students, they must be aware of their own safety in the net and avoid going to blogs that does not correspond to them, privacy and security also matters. For some, blogging also have its own disadvantages as much as it had its own advantages but we must remember that self-discipline is the key to avoid disadvantages in the net.
