1)
Now that I have access to the Web, how can I use
it effectively?
Some examples are as follows:

|
|
Email
|
Send, receive,
|
|
Web Calls/Conferencing
|
Communicate

School Websites
|
Communicate, Share, publicize
|
|
Wikis
|
Inform, collaborate, communicate, share, broadcast, publicize
|
|
Blogs
|
Inform, present, share thoughts, publish
|
2)
How do I manage students’ use of the Web in my
class?
Here are some examples of
classroom technology usage:
|
Google Research
|
Potential problem:
Students are unaware of the importance of keywords. They are not able to identify authoritative
sources. Students believe any
information they find.
|
Solution:
Show the following video--->
Identify the problem before they begin their search, maybe by giving
them an anchor chart or rubric.
|
|
Youtube Videos
|
Potential problem:
Students pull up inappropriate videos.
|
Solution:
The teacher could provide a choice of videos on a topic rather than
having them search on their own. Have
the students help them identify the key components they are looking for in a
video. Also, using YouTube through
sites like Gaggle allows them to search videos, because it filters out the
ones that are deemed inappropriate.
|
|
Flickr usage
|
Potential problem:
Taking pictures and manipulating or posting them without consent.
|
Solution:
All students should participate in a cyber safety course. They should also have parental permission
for internet usage and photo usage for educational purposes. The teacher should also send home specific notifications,
if they plan to use student photos.
|
3)
Which features of the Web do I use?
|
Search Engine
|
Students could use search engines to begin researching various
content. It will connect them with
websites that can provide them with content information.
|
|
Email
|
Students could use email to send and receive assignments from their
teacher. Teachers could also use it as a way to communicate classroom needs
and share various resources for students and parents.
|
|
Web Calls/Conferencing
|
Students could use products, like FaceTime, to collaborate with
students around the world. Students
could use this tool to collaborate and/or provide information. It would be an awesome way to create
digital pals.
|
|
School Websites
|
Students and parents can use the school’s website to find upcoming
events, school information, and link them with online resources.
|
|
Wikis
|
Wikis can be used to present classroom projects. They can also be used to provide resources
for students and parents to use at home.
|
|
Blogs
|
Blogs are a great way for students to have digital discussions. They provide an outlet to give and receive peer
feedback.
