Miss Information & Mr. E

"Lori's "Geek of the Week" Entry" got me thinking about the impact of so much right and wrong information zooming around the world. With all of this available information and growing technology, it is important to utilize these resources to help our students learn. It is also good to point students in a good direction with all of the “misinformation” that is also found on the web. My students and I will discuss different internet websites that they use daily: ranging from music download sites, video sites, game sites, myspace pages, news/information sites, and occasionally some learning/educational websites. I think that it is important for me to also share my knowledge of “good” websites with my students. Especially during review time, I will use www.SchoolIsland.com to create assignments for my students. It is my hope that this will some how appeal to the students and make a homework assignment “bearable”. Another consideration is that my students spend a lot of time on the internet and there is a chance that they may go ahead and try a few of the assignments since they are readily available…just a click away….
