Internet Educational usage by High School students around the world

Abstract

An electronic mail questionnaire was distributed to high schools throughout the world linked to Web66 school’s registry on the World Wide Web. A sample of 34 secondary school teachers from eight different regions of the world answered questions about the general educational benefits, skills, management and training in the Internet. Findings revealed that the pre-dominant skills secondary students need are hardware/software skills and information literacy skills. Nearly all the teachers believe Internet usage motivates students in their learning, and nearly half the teachers had changed their teaching techniques since using the Internet.
