Communication, Networking and Personal Development Skills Trained during the Educational Process

Both from the lessons I observed and from my personal teaching experience I have found that the impact of Internet over the development of pupils’ skills is a positive one, beneficial to the development of their personality and to their social integration and adaptation. Apart from the development of active and conscious participation, of communication within virtual space or networking, of teamwork, in pairs, individually or frontally pupils develop functional skills like: organizational skills, self-management skills, time management, critical thinking, decision making, processing and contextual use of information and the capacity to identify and solve problems. Using the Internet in teaching provides opportunities for harnessing the life experience of students in a more flexible and open framework, diversifying everyday learning environments. The impact of Internet in the educational area has visible consequences in pupil's development and training but also in teacher's activity by motivating them to work towards a partnership (integrated teaching, team teaching) and educational innovation.
