The internet can be used for all students learning. The younger students might not have the concept of what is being taught but since computers are in most homes in one form or another they might be more comfortable using the computer to just point and click. The more advanced student might be able to do more of the clicking and dragging of different items.
To insure responsibility of the use of computers is to teach and re-teach and even over teach how and what is appropriate on the computer.
Use of the internet can support my students' learning by exposing them to a bigger world of ideas than would otherwise be possible. .The internet has the potential to expand cultural awareness. The internet supports my teaching by providing similar benefits as it does to the students. I can participate in discussion with my peers and colleagues. I can share ideas, develop strategies, and have my views challenged, modified and refined.
Responsible use of the web can be fostered in a few ways. Each of which contribute to the goal of creating safe, fun, online learning spaces. Supervision is vital. Just as vital is an understanding or appreciation by the teacher of the dynamics and technicalities of virtual learning spaces. If the students are with a guide they can trust and enjoy the journey with, then a communication can develop that will enhance the understandings of both teacher and student. (We learn together).
How can a child discern the "bad" if they have not been exposed to the "good" or "excellent"? Who will expose them to the good and excellent if their teachers cannot?
The Internet provides tremendous opportunities and resources for both teacher and students. It allows for collaborative communication between student-to-student and teacher-to-student. It can (dependent on grade level) motivate students to involve themselves in class discussions through the use of email, Blogs, Blackboards, and a wiki. The Internet is invaluable in terms of resources for the student and teacher. The information is available 24/7 and accommodates different types of learning styles. The countless educational materials on the Internet can be used to encourage student-centered exploration, so a student can utilize what works best for them.
Responsibility must be taught, modeled, and monitored by the teacher, and ultimately accepted by the student. This includes clearly defined guidelines in terms of what is and is not appropriate. It would seem very important that as teachers, we explore web sites and search engines to see ahead of time what may appear. Students must be taught what their responsibilities are and how to use the Internet in a trustworthy manner.
How can I use the Internet to support my teaching and student learning?
The way in which I use the Internet to support my teaching and student learning is limited only by the parameters I place on it. Up to this point, I have limited my use of the Internet in my classroom to traditional concepts. I use the Internet as a research tool for students, as an interactive teaching tool through games, and as an assisted teaching method through streaming media such as United Streaming and Brain Pop. I now see that the Internet can also be used as an excellent collaborative tool between students outside of the classroom in an effective manner which can be monitored by the teacher through the use of wiki’s and blogs.
How can I ensure responsible and appropriate use of the Internet?
Unfortunately, I do believe that we need to have blocks on classroom computers even though they do limit the information that can be accessed. One reason I agree with the blocks is because I want my students to be able to search on their own without me having to do the work ahead of time to predetermine appropriate sites. My predetermination of appropriate sites limits what information they will ultimately produce. We have to provide adequate supervision. If a student knows the teacher is watching what he or she is viewing, he or she will think twice about viewing something inappropriate. The use of the Internet is no different than any other classroom activity. Most importantly, if we are doing an adequate job in educating our children about appropriate values, they will carry these values over to their use of the Internet as well as other aspects of their lives. I think I will start a new acronym for my class on use of the Internet…..WJL?SY….
How can I use the Internet to support my teaching and students’ learning?
WebQuests are one way to use the Internet to enhance learning. They are a great way to incorporate curriculum standards into a problem-based learning format. The Internet allows teachers to access free interactivities useful for learning skills and concepts. The districts math textbooks are available online and provide lots of additional support material for students to access when they are at home.
How can I ensure responsible and appropriate use of the Internet?
Best way is for teachers to monitor students when they use the Internet. Walk around be present when students are accessing the Internet. If students think the teacher is watching, they don't try to access unrelated or improper sites. Also, when using the Internet restrict students' searches to specific locations by using WebQuests that have pre-established links.
I can use the internet to support my students learning by using various sites available. For examle USGS has several excellent interactive sites dealing with global warming. These sites give students visual input as well as letters on a piece of papersince many students have computers at home, they can be encouraged to use the computer for research purposes.Responsible and appropiate use of the internet is to a large extent accomplished by the use of filters installed by the school. Teacher observation while students are using the internet will also ensure that students are on task and not looking up the latest sports statistics.
To use a variety of assessments to determine what students know and are able to do. To select, design, and use assessment tools appropriate to what is being assessed. To know that the assessment tools I use are matched to and support my goals for student learning and collect, select, and reflect upon evidence of student learning as well as work with families to gather information about all students and their learning. To ensure that my grades are based on multiple sources of information and to assess my students to support student learning goals, district standards, and family expectations. To use a range of assessment strategies to implement and monitor individualized student learning goals.
I can use the internet to support what I'm teaching and students learning by allowing the students the opportunity to do needed research. It can also be used as a communication tool between the teacher and student. Also, I can use it as an interactive learning opportunity for students through the use of games that would cover many different learning abilities from all students.
To ensure responsible and appropriate use of the internet, is to monitor at all times that they are using only appropriate sites, and that they know that they are being monitored. The students need to be taught what their responsibilities are and how to use the internet properly.
How can I use the Internet to support my teaching and student learning?
The internet has become a vast marketplace for consumerism. Teaching a lifeskills course allows me to work with students on responsible and savvy consumerism & using a hands on tool like the internet enriches learning far more than mere discussions do. In addition, the reserach opportunities are endless on the topics of conflict resolution, dating, bullying, I could go on and on ...
How can I ensure responsible and appropriate use of the Internet?
Wouldn't it be great to have access to the internet as needed in every classroom? Think of the curious minds that would be fed instantly!
All the lectures in the world won't stop kids from testing the internet waters. I agree with Neil M about the disservice we do to our kids by filtering so much of the school internet. In addition, contrary to many opinions, there are many students who do not have computers or internet access at home. School is the only place for those students to learn responsible and conusmer savvy internet use.
The Internet is a great resource for research and communication all over the globe. It is a way of bringing culture and understanding to the students in my classroom with just the click of a mouse. It is critical that students understand that not everything on the Internet is gospel. This allows the enhancement of questioning and investigating student research more thoroughly.
I can ensure responsible and appropriate use of the Internet by checking out sights ahead of time and listing them on the board as well as being very present with my monitoring of the computer use.
The internet can be a tool for me as a teacher to present age appropriate material to my students. As I become more knowledgable in areas, this will directly effect my students. The internet will also expose students to material that they did not know existed. It opens opportunities and hopefully a desire to seek out knowledge. Computers can also reinforce basic skills and needed practice in various areas. My job as a monitor will help students to take responsibility for their actions. Most importantly they need to be taught what is appropriate and what my expectations are for them. This should be an ongoing endeavor.
I can use the internet to support learning by allowing my students to do research and other search related activities on it. This helps build their curiosity about a certain topic as well. To ensure students use the internet responsibly requires effort on the teacher's part. A few helpful ideas would be to keep a watchful eye on students as they work. Another would be to have a list of certain websites that they can access, and finally to use some sort of content blocking device for inappopriate sites.
How can I use the Internet to support my teaching and students’ learning?
First of all the students enjoy working on the internet. The motivation problem is solved. The internet has more sources than any person or book could ever provide.
How can I ensure responsible and appropriate use of the Internet?
In science there are some save search engines in place. NSTA offers one and so does SciLinks. I likeSciLink, it searches by topic and it identifies articles and interactive sites using simple icons.
The internet can support my teaching and students’ learning in a variety of ways. It is a great tool to use for research as well as communication with others. Teachers can fine almost anything they need through the internet. It can also allow students to interact with people everywhere through E-mails, chats, and instant messaging. Blogs, wikis, and shared projects done online allow students to collaborate by sharing and responding to each other’s work online.
As a teacher, it is important to ensure responsible and appropriate use of the internet by knowing how to use copyrighted materials legally. Teachers must also make sure they make their students aware of how to cite work they take off the internet.
Internet use in the classroom allows teacher's to obtain immediate information to pass on to students. As all teachers know that questions, good questions at that, can arise at any moment of the school day. It also gives students endless avenues of research information. The internet can also be used as a reward tool, allowing the children to access activities and websites for fun and/or learning experiences.
"Unfortunately" it is mandatory to set serious guidelines on internet use, for the students, especially my 2nd graders. I myself have stumbled upon inappropriate things in very "seemingly" innocent places....the JUNK is just EVERYWHERE !! So, as Leisa said....I agree that we must teach, re-teach, and "teach again" the appropriate perameters on careful, safe, and appropriate internet use. Keeping a consistant watch over their travels on the internet.
The internet is an awesome tool to do research for my teaching. I can get information & interact with others to enhance my knowledge base. I can teach my students to use the internet appropriately regarding copyrights, searching for information, & communicating with others with E-mail, chats, & instant messaging.
How can I use the Internet to support my teaching and students’ learning? The Internet is especially useful when it comes to research for background information for projects. It also is a great resource for pictures for students to use with their projects. How can I ensure responsible and appropriate use of the Internet? First would be to go over what is meant by responsible and appropriate usage with the students so that we are all clear on what is acceptable and what is not. It is then important to follow up by monitoring the student usage
How can I use the internet to support my teaching and student's learning? I love that I can pull up video clips that go along with our history and literature curriculum. I let the students use the internet for research. We also play some games that enrich our history and Arizona studies. I like the idea of a wiki where we could interact with students from other schools. It brings the old fashion pen pal to a whole new level. How can I ensure responsible use of the internet? We have very good blockers at school. Our computer lab is set up so the teacher can view all the student's screens. Also, in the classroom I only let my students get on the internet when I am with them.
With many of the students I teach, the internet up to this point has been for games only. There is such a wealth of information available that I see the opportunity to expand their horizons. Students who struggle with reading have special challenges with the internet since material is not "leveled" for them. However, it can also be a reason to improve their skills. With all that said, I see the internet as an opportunity to provide expanded information instantly for a wide variety of subjects. By linking to specific sites chosen to meet the needs of particular students, the teacher can scaffold learning differences. The visual ranking tool that we learned last semester is an example of an internet tool that very young learners can use.
Ensuring responsible and appropriate use requires teaching and monitoring. Early on students need to learn that just because information is on an internet site is no guarantee that it is accurate. The Seeing Reason tool is a great way to teach students to evaluate the source of information. They also need to understand that a site may appear appropriate initially, but it is their responsiblility to be alert, think, and report questionable information. Ultimately, it is the teacher's responsibility to be visible and involved when students are working on the internet at school. Just as we have to exercise "visual control" in the classroom and playground, so we have that same responsibility when students are using computers.
I use the internet in my classroom to give clips of videos and sound bites to go with lesson (recently the kids listened the the real "I have a dream" speech!). The kids utilize the internet to do research on a project (recently they researched a past president). Also, the kids play review math games and use etools in our Pearson math site.
To ensure safe use of the internet we have a firewall. Also, I bookmark sites I want the kids to use and they stick to them, thanks to constant monitoring by the teacher.
The internet will be a great tool for learning about the growth of technology. Not only will the internet be our main source for research, but we will be actually using the internet. As a technology unit, what better? I can ensure responsible use by watching. Giving the students websites to go to, and observing them, as I would like them to explore the internet for themselves also.
