“More than half of the nation’s school districts report that kids are the campus experts when it comes to school technology”
USA Today- June 5, 2002: At U.S Schools, Students are Technology Teachers- by Karen Thomas Citing report: “Are We There Yet”-2nd major report from National School Boards Foundation
The Need

811 school districts surveyed, including 90 of largest 100 found:
• Only 43% of new teachers are “average” in their ability to use the Internet for classroom instruction
• Most Internet use is for research-based projects, with very little use of interactive learning and collaboration
The Need

How do you use the Internet?

• Currently over 4 billion web pages on the net
• Pages being added at rate of 7.3 million per day!

”…finding high quality web sites is not easy. The number of resources available via the Internet is immense [and] … The differences between reliable and unreliable sites may be imperceptible… [it] is clear that all educators must become informed Internet consumers.”
Becoming a Critical Consumer of the Web, Dr. Kimberly S. Roempler, encFocus, v. 6, no. 3, pp. 11-12.

Technology & Learning
“…everybody is talking, these days, about the overwhelming proliferation of Web sites…. On the positive side, …students have access to a huge array of valuable information…[But] it is unsafe to send students out on the Web without the ability to validate the information they find.
Educators need to assist students in: Search Skills…, Interpreting Information and detecting bias on the Web.”
Web Literacy and Critical Thinking: A Teacher’s Took Kit, Judy Salpeter. Technology and Learning, March 2003, V. 23, n. 8, pp.

What if?
You could work with teams of district educators to learn how to confidently and creatively use the Internet?

Online Training
• Put face-to-face training in practice
• Work collaboratively with teammates
• Tap facilitator for help
• Reflect your experience via shared lesson plans, vignettes, and MP3 best practices
• Build a finished product – Science Guide

Those who provide such training have been called on to rethink methods and approaches commonly used in past efforts. It is becoming clear that "one-size-fits-all" workshops in which teachers get a generic overview of concepts or skills are not sufficient. This approach fails to take into consideration different levels of proficiency, provides little opportunity for practice, and rarely includes any follow-up (Fulton, 1996; Hurst, 1994; Jackson, 1999; Tally & Grimaldi, 1995).
Webwatchers provides customized training aligned to district curriculum, and includes opportunities for practice, reflection and discussion.
