How can I use the internet to support my teaching and student learning??? When working with at-risk students, often times (not always) this involves lower income home settings in which students may not have ready access to the internet. This makes it challenging to assign out of school internet assignments unless you offer a non internet/computer related option.
I believe most everyone is in agreement that the internet definitely enhances both teaching and student learning in numerous ways- peaks interest level, differentiated instruction, bringing in outside sources that normally wouldn't be available, or reasonably accessible, etc. The problem then is time consumption and guaranteeing (?sp?) the integrity and appropriateness of the assignment.
Beyond that, there are endless possibilities to utilize the internet... online surveys, chats, discussion boards, internet scavenger hunts, PPT presentations utilizing internet sourcess, research projects, online video viewing, etc.
