The Internet in my life. The advantages and disadvantages of Media education.

The Internet has good and bad sides. One of the good things is that we can learn everything about nature and countries and other things from the internet. Also there we can listen to good music or watch different videos and discover different talents in you. Find different occupations and more. The downside is that there are plenty of internet celebrities who can change your way of thinking. Now many people and children are suffering because they are addicted to the internet. There are many bad people on the internet who can ruin you. We need you to be able to use everything to be good for us and the same for the internet.

Our school website. Do you find it useful? If yes, why. If no, why. Suggest some ways to make it better.

I think that every year the school website becomes more accessible to people. For me, the school website is very suitable for people who want to go to that school or for parents who want to see their child’s absences or progress. For me, it is very useful and helps people become better at computers. The school website is very convenient for people who want to learn something, they can go to the school website, there they go to the teacher’s blog and select their class and read their topic and understand. They can also perform various interesting flash mobs prepared by our teachers.
