Online services has broadened in the aspect of education. There is a lot of information available to students studying in schools and universities. These sites generally are revision sites such as 'BBC Bitesize' and 'MyMaths', created for GCSE and A levels. The websites provide all possible areas of study with exam question and papers.
Other useful websites include examining boards such as OCR and Edexcel. These websites offer, especially Edexcel, chances to do and mark papers online. Other resources on the website include work sheets, lesson plans and a chat room for students to interact with each other. Chat rooms are particularly risky, especially on education websites, as it can allow plagiarism. An example of a website involving this is Wikipedia, as the information generated on there can be edited by anyone making the information not 100% accurate.
A new form, that is being entered into education is by using videoing from online routes. Youtube and the Iplayer are being used more frequently in classrooms to demonstrate a point showing real life examples.
Both these examples also make it quicker and easier for the teachers and it is much more clear to the students with the latest technology.
