E education

<p>&lt;p&gt;E education now a days has started to play a key role in education, and nowadays interactive boards and projectors to display video clips on a certain topic have greatly enhanced the teaching experience, these widely help the students to visualize better over what is going on, and there aren't many things that enhance education but some of them do are listed and described as follows:&lt;/p&gt;<br>
&lt;p&gt;Interactive Board &lt;/p&gt;<br>
&lt;p&gt;Interactive Board helps to pin point the things that would normally not help the students much and it also helps the teacher to underline some important notes which are saved as, and these can later be emailed to the students, &lt;br&gt;<br>
Disadvantages there aren't many disadvantages to using a interactive boards apart from that they can be cost effective and also that people have to be specially trained to use the interactive Board &lt;/p&gt;<br>
&lt;p&gt;Projectors&lt;/p&gt;<br>
&lt;p&gt;Projectors can be good to show students some slide shows or video on a certain smtopic this can help to make the topic more understanding so that they can visualize as well while studying disadvantages of the disadvantages to using a projector are that there are special requirements for it like a dark room a special screen and etc these aren't needed for an interactive board&lt;/p&gt;<br>
&lt;p&gt;Internet video chat&lt;/p&gt;<br>
&lt;p&gt;Internet video chat is hily used to teach children, by video chat expert teachers can teach students in other countries this helps them to learn from various teachers and get a more clearer idea of what the subject is about, and this is done in real time rather recorded lectures so students can simultaneously ask the teacher questions and &lt;br&gt;<br>
the teacher can give back the reply so that a feel of the classroom is created&lt;br&gt;<br>
Disadvantages the disadvantages of having Internet video chat is that the teacher cannot handle the class and a class moderator has to be present during the video and thus has to be paid more, apart from that I'd there is a power shortage than the video chat cannot go on and sometimes the signals too can get lost during the chat thus the students may not get the complete feed and might miss on some important notes, and this Cn be a disadvantage</p>
<p>Internet access. </p>
<p>By providing the children with Internet access the administration of the campus can make sure that the children can research and do their assignments also gather more data<br>
Disadvantages the disadvantages are that sometimes the children might misuse the Internet service this is not necessarily a problem because a website blocker or filter can be put but apart from that also sometimes the information can be false and misleading, and there is also an overload of Information on the students and sometimes data which shouldn't be seen by students can pop up as advertisements, and this is why in some schools giving Internet access to students is discouraged.

My opinion and types of communication

ICT

So for the first part of my first activity as an A level student of ICT I have been asked to write a blog on how i feel about ICT and have been asked to analyse different types of online communication.

So i would like to start with ICT and my opinions on it.

Well ICT just fascinates me, its not the software's or the hardware which appeals to me but rather the complexity of the subject and how it has changed the world nowadays. To me ICT represents the extent to which the Human Mind can push through. I don't think there would have bee anyone 30 years ago who would have imagined that the human race could have made such advancements, which today are present in this for example the fact that a machine could capture our movements and display them onto the television making another character move - Reference to xbox kinect - or shoot and watch movies in the 3rd Dimension, all of it is just fascinating. I would love to work in the ICT field and my dream -something what most people don't eve think of- is to create my own OS, i want to design it so its beautiful, fast and most of all fits all my daily needs, no matter what platform it is for. Building my own OS is just one thing, I would also love to build my own CPU system, my own customised PC, with all the necessary hardware's I want, for example a customised PC fitted with a Nvidia GTX 670 graphic card, a 4GB RAM, a 4.0Ghz processor etc..... Because I'm interested in gaming :P for example...

Yeah that's heaven :D ^

Not only this stuff but i have many a times taken interest in many things related to ICT, for example at age 16 these are my personal accomplishments:-

• -Made a flash game
• -Made my own software's for android OS system
• -Made my own animated movie with Anime Studio (short film of about 2 minutes)
• -Made my own web pages
• -Made my own Graphics using Photoshop
• -Hacked an account :P ( yea illegal stuff) 

Well these are just some basic things I have done which I can remember from the top of my head

Okay so i think i have put enough thought into this question and now i would like to move onto the next task of my assignment.
