Educational Benefits of the Internet

The Internet provides a powerful resource for learning as well as an efficient means of communication.

Its use in education can provide a number of specific learning benefits, including the development of:

• independent learning and research skills – for example improved access to subject learning across a wide range of learning areas, as well as in integrated or cross-curricular studies
  
  
• communication and collaboration – for example the ability to use learning technologies to access resources, create resources and communicate with others.
