Some people feel that to graduate with a first class, you have to avoid the use of phones or any other devices and concentrate solely on your books, but it will surprise you to know that most first class graduates actually used the internet extensively. Especially now that we are n the digital information age, most of what we need is on the internet. So in what 5 ways do First class graduates use the internet?
Google is the mother lode of information, virtually every question you might ever face as undergraduate has an answer on Google that is if you can find it. First Class students use Google, when they find it difficult to understand or grasp a particular concept. Google answers helps you compare what your lecturer told you, with what others have said and therefore arrive at very broad understanding of the concept.
WIKIPEDIA
Wikipedia, fondly called Wiki is the historian of the internet. So when First class graduates want to understand the history of a particular product, person, tribe or concept, they go to Wikipedia. Most times when you are searching for more information on a topic on Google, you are usually directed to Wikipedia. Everyone loves Wiki.
GOOGLE SCHOLAR
Now everyone knows Google, but very few know Google Scholar. This is where knowledge comes in, First Class graduates know that to get the best answers to school assignments, generally searching on Google will take longer, so they simply go to Google Scholar, which is Google’s classroom. Answers to assignments and projects are easily found there in Pdf. and Doc. formats.
YOUTUBE
Most people feel that Youtube is a resource for funny videos and movie trailers, and this is true. However, it is also a virtual classroom. So when First Class students are done learning in their classrooms, they also head to Youtube to learn more. On Youtube you can watch videos from how to play the guitar to how to repair faulty electrical circuits. The list is endless. A perfect practical learning class.
