Transcript of Using internet in the classroom (circa 1996)
Using the Internet in the Classroom
Resources and Activities for Planning
Mark Smith, NYS College of Ceramics [email protected]
The Idea
“We’re not quite sure what we want but we think the Internet
can help.”
The Questions
� Content Focus? (pretty broad)
� Internet Skill Levels? - teachers & students– Web Browser
– Searching
� What Can A 3rd Grader Do?� Facilities? Class vs. Lab� Teaching Styles?� Resources: For Teachers and/or Students?
My Thoughts
� Show’em what’s out there for resources� Teach‘em to fish� Give’em some good resources to start
with� Choosing, Adapting, Creating specific
lessons for your students is up to you!!!
Stuff to Consider
� Yikes!!! there is way too much stuff � A lot of the stuff may be useful � The right stuff can be very exciting for
you and the kids� Finding the right stuff can be time
consuming � Adapting resources/ideas is the trick!!!
Technical Considerations
� Kids/Teachers need certain computer and literacy skills
� Interactive sites have certain technical requirements (plug-ins, sound cards, etc.)
� Web Sites are Volatile “Here Today, Gone Tomorrow”
Moving On
� Warmup: Later we’ll talk about finding stuff .. but .. just for kicks - 2 minutes
Search for:1. a website on Japan2. that has content suitable for 3rd gr. 3. that has lesson plans or teacher resources
Here Is How We’ll Proceed:
1) Look at types of sites are out there - a few demos
2) Tricks to finding them - a short, brief, mini, tiny, search lesson using Google
3) For Desert … Nearly 100 Teacher Resources & Sites I Found For your Regions Units(and I just scratched the surface)
