Internet Resources

Many things can be found off of the Internet, are they really good for are students to be looking and there are many education sites that aren't educational. As an educator you must pick and choice what is right for your students and make sure they are being able to have quality time with a good source. There are many search engines that are kid friendly sites. So when a student gets on a search engine they must know how to look for the information appropriately. The student must be able to put in the information in the search bar to get the best hits on the topic. Using the Internet and having students make up their own blog is an idea situation, or having a group blog.

This could be where student groups create a blog and follow each others all year long. This helps with social media groups and allows for peer review and feedback. Many sites help out with teaching the students how to create and review a blog. When a student tags their work it allow for easier finding of the archive later. Labeling all things helps with organization. The evaluation tools that are listed are a great resource for peer grading and reviews. A works cited for all your students work is a great resource for them the have and to learn to do with every project it is a lifelong learning tool that makes the assignment easier if they need to reference a topic. This works cited was done for Hurricanes. It is an example of the many sites and enormous amount of information that the Internet holds and how valuable the resources can be. Many other options for learning on the Internet are available. The Rss feeder, vi op, chat, and video. These are all things that can enhance any learning in the classroom if they are taught right to the students and used to the maximum potential of the student. The Internet just brings the world together.

  1. The way you talk about all the aspects of class we have discovered sounds like teacher to students, which is the way it should be. I will take more from your assignments as good advice and tips than you will mine, I'm sure.
