Internet vs Teacher


Now Internet is not something strange among the community especially the youth. The Internet has become a weapon for them, what they are looking on the internet and they only took a few seconds to find it.
For some children, they are using all the advantages of the Internet to find subject matter and the solution of the tasks that given by their teacher. Sometimes knowledge that they got from the Internet more widely and more clearly than what is described teachers in the classroom. It will encourage the tendency to use the internet as a 'second teacher' them. Logically, sooner or later they will turn away from their teachers 'second teacher'. This can happen for several reasons like with the Internet they learn self-taught without coercion, material provided is also more extensive, and highly interactive learning methods.
Based on that things it will affect the popularity and the influence of teachers on their student indirectly. As the result teachers will be difficult to control the students because no longer ignored by his disciples.
In fact the key of this problem lies in the teachers themselves. If students use the Internet to learn, why they do not use it for teaching. Each teacher can take the material from the internet and teach it to students. So that when the student opened the same material that he would say "this material has been taught by my teacher yesterday."
