Internet Access

The Internet is an unlimited resource for information. The Internet has enabled teachers across the country to exchange and share ideas in order collaborate. This collaboration has allowed teachers to utilize lesson plans, information and ideas freely. The only problem is that often ideas are lost like a needle in a haystack.

Instructor Use

Instructors are able to utilize the Internet in order to find lesson plans, information and lesson ideas. Below is a list of websites that enable teachers to collaborate.

• Kancrn.org
• Ali.apple.com
• Hprtec.org
• Askeric.com

Student Source

The Internet can also be used a resource for students to access outside of class. Assignments, and/or instructions can be posted on websites. Research has become easier for students when utilizing the Internet. Teachers should make sure that students understand that not everything on the Internet is correct. Before letting students search the Internet a lesson should be set aside to discuss the credibility of the source in which students acquire the information.

Student Tool

Students can use the Internet to post and present projects. Students often feel a sense of pride when a project is on display for others to view.

Classroom Ideas

• Use TrackStar (hprtec.org) to have student visit sites picked by you that demonstrate instruction, and or material that are useful. The students can do this in a lab during class time or outside of class. If the students use the Internet during class, JRP has a computer lab in 104 JRP that may be reserved.
• Post the class syllabus online. For online tutorials on web development Classes are also available for FREE if you are a faculty or a student.
• Use a projector that may be checked out in JRP, Rm. 104. Websites can be browsed offline using Microsoft's Internet Explorer by adding a site to your "favorites" list. Students will be able to view the Internet even if you don't have a connection.
