Web Activities

As you know by now, the World Wide Web holds an endless amount of information just waiting for us to discover.  One can visit many parts of the world without leaving the classroom.  Why one can even communicate live with scientists half way across the world!  Best of all, it's free! Why not take advantage of it?

Where do I start integrating the web into my units of study?

Probably the best way to start your integration is by starting out small until you feel comfortable with this step. One suggestion is to use your classroom computers as a center.  Here students can read more about the topics they are studying.  Using search engines to find information, bookmark or open up the web site before students go to the center.  Students can take notes or interact with the web site in order to enhance their learning experience.  Be sure to use a scan converter with the class as a whole to preview the website together before students go to the center.

Wow, that was easy!  What can I do next?

Way to go! I knew you could do it! Now you have many choices!  It's all up to you and your creativity now.  Before you move to this step, remember to choose one and get comfortable using the format. Below are several categories of different ways in which to incorporate the web. Click on the category and the link will take you to a list of resources. Good luck! You can do it!

Web Scavenger Hunts

Scavenger hunts are web-based activities in which students collect information from the Internet links given to them.  Actually, the students are doing a very guided type of research.  What the students do with their information is totally up to you!  You could have a class discussion, have them put their information in a Power Point presentation format and present it to the class, create an informational web page, create a brochure or write a paper in what they found out. Scavenger hunts are a great way to introduce a unit or topic or can be a great way to review a unit or topic.  Only your imagination can limit you.  Be creative!
