Online Learning

Bitesize, Sam Learning, Net Frog, Science Museum and AQA

Internet learning is a very useful way of learning things that sometimes may not be possible to do in school. They can be used in and outside of the classroom and are also for people of all ages.

Sam Learning is a very good website which I personally used and found useful myself. One of the best things about Sam Learning is that you can track your progress of what you’ve done, how well you did, and the grades you received on each task. There is one massive downfall that this site has which none of the others do, this is that you have to pay to use it, although this is paid for by the school at £4,500 per year.

BBC Bitesize is also a quite useful website but it is not as good as Sam Learning. Some of the main differences are firstly that it’s free and you don’t need login details to use it. Secondly, because you don’t have your own login you cannot track your progress which is one of the best advantages of Sam Learning.

Net Frog is also another good website to help students learn things that possibly aren’t possible to do in school like the dissection of a frog. This is a very good website for science practicals and experiments. The disadvantage of this site is that a lot of the videos dont work due to the website being very old. Some people may also find it too gorey.

The AQA website is very useful for revising before exams. This is because it has lots of past exam papers on it and the mark schemes so you can mark your own work. The main disadvantage is that it is very boring to use so therefore you need a lot of self motivation to do them because they take so long to do.

The Science Museum is an OK site but most defiantly not the best one of the others ive reviewed. This is because there are not a lot of interactive things to do on the website.

Finally, I have came to the conclusion that the best online learning website is Sam Learning due to how good the revision activities are and how you can track your progress.
