Extractions: Her words echoed in my mind when I read Teaching with the Internet: Lessons from the Classroom (1997) by Donald and Deborah Leu. The book is aptly named, for it describes actual teachers' use of the Internet and illustrates specific strategies that integrate this new technology with classroom instruction to enhance meaningful learning. The authors' premise that "Learning from one another is essential to success on the Internet" (p. 3) becomes clear through teacher anecdotes on use of the Internet to support all types of learning, from teaching inquiry skills through navigation strategies to fostering reading-writing connections with e-mail. Such technology provides a way for teachers to reach beyond their individual classrooms and link with educators everywhere. A reader hears from Angeles Maitland Heriot, a seventh-grade teacher from Buenos Aires who praises the ability of the Internet to allow children to discover firsthand the "geography, history, and culture of the world" (p. 170). Readers also hear from Terrie Gray, a junior high science teacher from California who discusses early Web experiences and invites us to visit a Web page created to teach research skills at
Extractions: [Creating Web pages] made me realize not everything on the net is valid...just thinking that even regular people like me can actually put something inside the net made me understand why everyone should be more careful in picking information...[there's] plenty of room to abuse the power of the Internet and as users we should be careful. When was the last time your students completed a research project that did not involve use of the Internet? For many students, the Internet is a far more familiar place than the library. They use it to e-mail, to chat online, to listen to music, to surf for entertainment, to post their own Web pages, and to find information they need for school projects. Many, teens in particular, rely heavily on the Internet to support their school work. In a recent survey of U.S. teens with Internet access, 94 percent reported using it for school research and 71 percent said it was a major source of information for their latest school project ( online document Finding and using information on the Internet is a relatively new literacy skill, one that requires students to know how to evaluate information "critically and competently (

Back to the Table of Contents Back to the Table of Contents Teachers have long recognized the value of students reading accounts of historical events written in the words of those who were there. Excerpts from James Madison's journals kept during the Constitutional Convention is a typical example of the primary sources that teachers use to explain how the Constitution was developed and how it is interpreted today. But the Internet opens the way to an enormous range of resources. For instance, imagine reading Tacitus's eyewitness account of the burning of Rome, including the descriptions of "terrified, shrieking women" and "helpless old and young" fleeing the conflagration, or Corporal E. C. Nightingale's frightening memories from on the deck of the battleship Arizona in 1941.

ONLINE! Name of the editor of a scholarly project or database (if known) Preface.online! A Reference Guide to Using internet Sources. http://www.bedfordstmartins.com/online/cite5.html
Extractions: This chapter's guidelines for citing Internet sources are based on two sources: the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (2003) by Joseph Gibaldi. The MLA Handbook advises that you acknowledge sources "by keying brief parenthetical citations in your text to an alphabetical list of works that appears at the end of the paper" (142). Widely used by writers in literature, language studies, and other fields in the humanities, the MLA style of documentation allows writers to keep texts "as readable and as free of disruptions as possible" (143). The MLA Handbook provides information about the purposes of research; suggestions for choosing topics; recommendations for using libraries; guidance for composing outlines, drafts, notes, and bibliographies; and advice on spelling, punctuation, abbreviations, and other stylistic matters. It also presents a style for documenting sources and gives directions for citing print sources in the text and preparing a list of Works Cited. Thorough acquaintance with the MLA Handbook will, as its author promises, "help you become a writer whose work deserves serious consideration" (xv). This chapter follows the conventions of MLA citation style.
Using The Internet In Economics Lessons Read about using a WebQuest as an internet teaching plan. A web projectused frequently to teach both economics and evaluation of economic information http://ecedweb.unomaha.edu/teachsug.htm
Extractions: An Idea Page Students at all levels get excited about using the web and can benefit from using the web for up-to-date information. Recommended grade levels are shown, but you should tailor the project to your students. At the end, we even have a couple of web projects for K-4 As students become more advanced at web use, they can begin to create their own pages. Any of the following ideas can be developed for advanced students by having them work in teams to create a Web Virtual Collection or Exhibition on the topic to share with others. Reminder: One of the most important things you can do for your students is help them learn to evaluate information! Have them ask: Who provided this information? What are his or her qualifications? Is this information consistent with what experts say? Does this information reflect a particular viewpoint? What are the other viewpoints? What can I learn from this web page? Here are some sources of information on this: Evaluating World Wide Web Information Criteria for evaluation of Internet Information Resources For these exercises, the search tools of the Web will be very useful. Any of the following projects can be enhanced by finding more supporting information. The students can do most of this! A web site that links all of the major search sites is found at

"Yenza" - which means "do it" in isiXhosa and isiZulu - is a guide to using the Internet for research and teaching in the Social Sciences and Humanities. The project's understanding of "using the Internet for research" includes using Internet tools for finding information, for conducting research, as well as for disseminating research-related information. The Yenza! site was developed by the South African National Research Foundation in partnership with the Infolit Project of the Adamastor Trust . Materials on the site comprise a mixture of annotated links to resources in South Africa and elsewhere, and materials developed specifically for Yenza! In selecting outside resources, the project team has looked for materials which are highly rated by subject experts. These resources are intended as an introduction to what the Internet offers researchers and teachers, not as a comprehensive catalogue. The information on this site should help both the novice researcher and the more experienced researcher to find and develop online resources. The site can be used independently by researchers, although it was primarily developed to complement face-to-face workshops. Yenza! for trainers

Extractions: "My father grew up in a village in Taiwan....When he was 14 years old he left his home and went to Taipei, looking for a job....In 1979, my father came to Germany because he wanted to visit one of his cousins, but he liked it here and stayed. He worked as a cook in a Chinese Restaurant and his plan for the future was to be the owner of a Chinese Restaurant. Two years after his arrival in Germany we followed. At that time I was only five years old and I could only speak Chinese.... "Now we were all in Germany, my father worked as a cook, my mother stayed at home and took care of us and we went to school. But we only had visums (sic) for a few months, so we moved from state to state and tried to get a visum there. We moved for about five times until my father got an unlimited visum so that we were allowed to stay in Germany. Eleven years ago we moved to Hamburg and my father opened his own Chinese Restaurant.
