Online Education




There are many differnt ways that you can be educated over the internet. There are programs such as fronter which allow you to share and hand in work online, bbc bitesize which allows you to find out information on an array of subjects and also has a variety of eductaional games and quizzes to make learning fun. The programs im going to talk about are, Fronter, Mymaths and BBC bitesize
Fronter

Fronter is one of the Education programs i am studying. Fronter is like a little online organizer which helps you with your day to day learning. once logged in there are many different things you can do as long as your teachers have set it up for you. You can upload your work to the site making it easier incase you forget your usb pen. Also your teachers can open a set of "rooms". At my school there is a wide set of rooms, one for each subject. In some of the rooms teachers have uploaded a wide set of documents this is helpful as with all these resources on this website everything is all in one place and easy to find. Resources such as practice papers are often included aswell giving easy access to all the things you may need. You can also put lesson plans etc on to fronter making it easy for people to catch up on work if they have missed it. There also is a hand-in option on fronter which when enabled allows you to had in pieces of work electronically to the teacher and the teacher can then view this on their computer. This service is very useful as means you can easily hand in homework and you are not using up paper and ink by printing all your homework off. With this feature teachers are also able to mark the work they receive and give their comments as to what they think. Fronter is simple and easy and all of the features included make learning hassle free.
