The 3-A Approach

a. ANALYSIS (Communication)
1. Is internet a place?
 The internet is the place where we can get everything that we need. Many of us
use the internet for seeking the knowledge or solutions for our problems. There
are, however, a lot of websites that offer valuable information for learning
something new. You may also get additional study materials for school or
college.

2. Who owns the internet?

 In fact, no one owns the Internet, and no single person or entity has full control
over it. The Internet, which is more of a philosophy than a real object, is based
on a physical infrastructure that links networks to other networks. Everyone
who uses the internet, in principle, owns it.

b. ABSTRACTION (Critical Thinking)

Read the following elaborations to further aid your understanding.

THE INTERNET AND THE WORLD WIDE WEB

How do we define internet? Several users of internet may express their

definition of internet in different perspectives depending again on their
orientation. A computer programmer and technical people may define the
internet from a technical point of view. They would probably say
 “Internet is a collection of wires, cables and networks.
 It is a network of networks connecting thousands, millions or even
billions of other networks.

EDUC 8 – TECHNOLOGY FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING 1 – MODULE 5 Page 2

  It is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use
the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to link billions of devices
worldwide.

So the internet is not a place and, therefore, does not have a specific
physical location.

How about the World Wide Web or the WWW?

 The Web for short is basically a system of Internet servers that

support specially formatted documents. The documents are
formatted in a mark-up language called HTML (HyperText Markup
Language) that supports links to other documents, as well as
graphics, audio, and video files.
 The WWW may likewise be defined as an information system on
the Internet that allows documents to be connected to other
documents by hypertext links, enabling the user to search for
information by moving from one document to another.

HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE INTERNET AND THE WWW

September 2, 1969 marks the birth of the Internet. Historical record tells
us that it is on this day that two computers communicated with each
other. And on October 29, 1969 message was sent from computer to
computer in different locations. On January 1, 1983, ARPANET adopted
the standard TCP/IP protocol. About two decades after the discovery of
the Internet, Tim-Berners Lee invented the World Wide Web in March
1989. The first email was sent in 1971 and Mosaic became the first web
browser.

The World Wide Web is the key to the development of the Information
Age and the principal tool that billions of people use today to interact with
the internet.

BASIC WEB-RELATED TERMS AND CONCEPTS

 INSTRUCTIONAL VALUE OF THE INTERNET AND THE WEB

In this era when access to knowledge and information is just a touch

away, delivery of education has dramatically transformed. There is so
much talk about virtual schooling and indeed this has been what many
schools, colleges and universities worldwide are trying to face as the
greatest challenge of the 21st century teaching and learning. The onset of
online learning programs gain popularity and acceptance in the
educational arena as another innovative approach in the business of
education. In addition, the Wikipedia is swiftly gaining legitimacy today in
the academic world. One cannot, therefore, negate that these legitimacy
today in the academic world. One cannot, therefore, negate that these
developments are immeasurably attributed to the Internet and the World
Wide Web.

The following are the instructional values and benefits of the Internet and
the World Wide Web.

 Access to knowledge and information.

 Access to instructional resources.
 Extended learning opportunities.
 Support lifelong learning.
 Support computer-based instruction.
 Support delivery of distance learning programs.
 Promote, facilitate and support other academic functions such as
enrollment, access to program of instruction and serves as
communication channel between and among parents, teachers
and students.
 Support social media apps such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram
and others.

CRITERIA FOR EVALUATING WEB RESOURCES

 Accuracy – How reliable and free from error is the information?

Are there editors and fact checkers? Almost anyone can publish
on the web. Many web resources not verified by editors and/or
fact checkers. Web standards to ensure accuracy not fully
developed.
 Authority – What are the author’s qualifications for writing on the
subject? How reputable is the publisher? It is often difficult to
determine authorship of web resources. If author’s name is listed,
his/her qualifications are frequently not mentioned. Publisher’s
responsibility is often not indicated.
 Objectivity – Is the information presented with minimum of bias?
To what extent does the information sway the opinion of the web
visitor? Web often functions as a “virtual soapbox”. The
goal/aims of persons or groups presenting the material are often
not clearly stated.
 Currency – Is the content of the work up to date? Is the
publication date clearly indicated? The dates are not always
included on the web pages. If included, a date may have various
meanings such as:
 Date first created
 Date placed on web

EDUC 8 – TECHNOLOGY FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING 1 – MODULE 5 Page 4

  Date last revised

 Usability - Is the site well-designed and stable? Is the site

organization logical and easy to maneuver? Is the content written
at a level that is readable by the intended audience? Has attention
been paid to presenting the information as error-free (e.g.,
spelling, punctuation) as possible? Is there a readily identifiable
link back to the institutional or organizational home page? Is the
site reliably accessible?

c. Assessment Phase:

a. Work Activities
 Look for at least one website that will provide you with the empirical
knowledge and understanding about the true shape of the world. Is it
round or is it flat?
 Using the 5 criteria in evaluation web resources, assess the validity
and authenticity of your chosen site.
 Refer to the five evaluation criteria in doing this activity.

Name of the website:

Web evaluation criteria Information/Data obtained from the site

Our planet is pudgier at the equator

than at the poles by about 70,000 feet.
This is due to the centrifugal force
created by the earth’s constant
rotation. Mountains rising almost
30,000 feet and ocean trenches diving
Accuracy over 36,000 feet (compared to sea
level) further distort the shape of the
Earth. Sea level itself is even irregularly
shaped. Slight variations in Earth’s
gravity field cause permanent hills and
valleys in the ocean’s surface of over
300 feet relative to an ellipsoid.
Isaac Newton first proposed that Earth
was not perfectly round. Instead, he
suggested it was an oblate spheroid—a
sphere that is squashed at its poles
and swollen at the equator. He was

correct and, because of this bulge, the
distance from Earth's center to sea
level is roughly 21 kilometers (13 miles)
greater at the equator than at the
poles.

changing planet. Geodesy is the
science of measuring and monitoring

including its gravity field, and

 deformations of the crust "on the order
of a centimeter or so," notes
geophysicist Richard Gross at the Jet
Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena,
Calif. "There's also postglacial rebound,
with the crust and mantle that were
depressed by the huge ice sheets that
sat on the surface during the last ice
age now rebounding upward on the
order of a centimeter a year."
The shape of the Earth is always
changing. Sometimes this change is
periodic, as is the case with daily tides
that affect both the ocean and the
crust; sometimes the change is slow
and steady, as with the drift of tectonic

plates or the rebound of the crust after
a heavy sheet of ice has melted; and
sometimes the shape of the planet
changes in violent, episodic ways
during events such as earthquakes,
volcanic eruptions, or meteor strikes.

Summary narrative:

EDUC 8 – TECHNOLOGY FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING 1 – MODULE 5 Page 6

Plagiarism is a crime against academy. It deceives readers, hurts
plagiarized authors, and gets the plagiarist undeserved benefits. However,
even though these arguments do show that copying other people’s
intellectual contribution is wrong, they do not apply to the copying of words.
Copying a few sentences that contain no original idea (e.g. in the
introduction) is of marginal importance compared to stealing the ideas of
others. The two must be clearly distinguished, and the ‘plagiarism’ label
should not be used for deeds which are very different in nature and
importance.

What lesson have you learned?

 As much as possible, do my own work so I can avoid plagiarism and
Sometimes, the most important lesson you can learn is failure.

What suggestions can you offer?

 Take careful notes. If you use source content in your work, make sure
you name it or mark it so you know it's from a source. Link the work to
your works cited list as soon as possible.
