  • Online Education

    I researched many types of online education websites. There are many websites which are free or where you have to pay a subscription. I think that online education is very good as you can access it 24/7.

    Here are the best three types of online education. They go in order of how good they are!

    1. http://www.bbc.co.uk/learning/index.shtml
    This is because it caters for anyone of any age for any types of skills. Also it proivides links to other bbc educational sites i.e. bitesize

    2. http://www.samlearning.com/
    This is because it is specifically designed to help students who are doing KS1 SATS - A Levels.

    3. http://www.wikipedia.org.uk
    This is becasue it holds lots of information.

  • Use A Stimulation

    This is a website that shows you a virtual dissection of a frog.
    It shows you images step by step of the disection, explaining each stage in detail.

    This is a free eduacational website, which could be very beneficial to schools and people who are interested in disections.

    The site is very informative and teaches you things that you wouldnt generally find out.

  • Online Banking

    The purpose of online banking is to make banking more efficient.
    With online banking you can:

    Obtain account balances, transaction and statement information.

    Review transaction information.

    Download transaction information.

    Make transfers account.

    View, print and download electronic deposit statements.

    Paper free statements.

    Target Audience
    Online banking is targeted at people with busy lives! Therefore banks make all the points above available 24/7.

    How Online Banking Might Be Improved In The Future!
    Online banking can be improved by being able to book appointments online to see a bank manager, however the meeting could take place over webcam and if there are documents to be signed they could be e-mailed.

  • eBay

    www.ebay.co.uk

    What is eBay?
    eBay is a major internet auction website. Anything and everything can be bought / sold from this website. The target audience is internet bidders who are looking for a particular item / items!

    The Auction Process
    Items are put up for auction and given a time limit, and then people can bid against each other to win the item. Once sold the successful bidder pays the seller and the item is then sent / collected.

    Benefits & Limitations
    The benefits of eBay are that you can bid anywhere / buy from anywhere. Items can go quite cheap and almost anything is sold. The limitations are that if you dont have the internet or can get access to the internet then you cant bid / buy anything. Also some items can be misleading which can lead to a buyer buying something under false pretenses.

  • Modern Communications

    The tsunami gives us examples of modern communications: presenting information in diferent ways because it shows that the tsunami was registered by the computer system in Honolulu. Therefore this station sent out warnings via e-mail to the more developed parts of the country.

    However the an email warning people of the tsunami didnt reach the under developed parts of Asia.

    After the disaster people could send text messages to let others know that they were safe, also websites were immediately set up to show people who had been found and those still missing.

    Sky TV used a Ticker that showed text messages and emails from survivers of this disaterous tsunami.

    Without these modern communications people would of been left worrying about their loved ones. Which shows that these sevices are very effective.

  • The Purpose of E-mail

    The purpose of e-mail is to send a message to another person / people instantly. It is a lot quicker than sending an actual letter and you can include attachments so that you can send images / music as well.

    However there are consequences of sending e-mails; for instance viruses can be easily picked up and passed onto the reciepent(s).

  • My Understanding of How Email Works!

    E-mail
    E-mail is an electronic message sent from one device to another, it is extremely quick and can happen anytime during the day. There are many ways of sending and recieving e-mails; usually it is sent from computer to computer,but now it can be sent and received by mobile phones and PDAs etc. By using e-mail you can sendmessages but you can also send photos / music / video clips / etc.

    How e-mail works
    An e-mail passes from a mail server (computer), to another as it travels over the Internet. When it arrives at the mail server, it is stored in an electronic mailbox until the recipient retrieves it.

  • My Online Services!

    I frequently go on itunes & limewire to keep me upto date on music.

    I always do online banking with Halifax and grocery shopping, as i am very lazy. I occasionly shop online. This is usually if i cant get down to the store i.e. Louis Vuitton / Gucci etc.

    I usually pick up books / dvds etc from either play.com or hmv.co.uk. I like looking for bargains and for that i shop on ebay!
