Extractions: Stories Resources ... Newsletters Schools Online collaborative projects create and support partnerships between people and institutions internationally, utilizing the power of the Internet to work together for the purpose of accomplishing a common objective. It is our hope that these experiences extend traditional classroom instruction. Schools Online understands that teachers must first develop their own capabilities to use technological tools for teaching and learning before transferring these skills to their students. In these featured collaborative projects, teachers' growth is fostered through technical skill building, professional development and project design. In many cases, the project objectives and activities are mapped to the curriculum that the teachers must teach. Through these and other projects, Schools Online aims to increase the attention to and understanding of using the Internet for project-based learning. It is our belief that this type of education will greatly expand students' horizons and strengthen their capacity to learn.

Extractions: The majority of teachers who are using the Internet use it primarily to find information. Essentially, the Internet is being used as a high-tech (and expensive) encyclopedia. Thus, students learn how to use the Internet to "look up" factual information on the Internet, just as they would in books. And after the students master such competencies, just what advantages do they have over the "Internet illiterate" peer who only knows how to use conventional paper reference ? Our intent with this article is not to justify, nor to condemn using the Internet as a glorified encyclopedia, but to suggest better ways to implement the World Wide Web as a powerful teaching tool. Valid concerns have been raised over the inappropriateness of some of the material to be found on the World Wide Web (Jackson, Bourdeau, Sampson, and Hagen, 1997). We feel there is little need for the students to be involved in an open-ended search for information. This could be a waste of time and also very risky due to the amount of adult sites that could appear. Ideally, if the teacher is setting up a lesson plan on a subject, they would be responsible for finding the most appropriate Websites ahead of time. Our solution to the argument proposed by Jackson and others, appears in the identification of specific sites that can be used for detailed educational purposes.

Student And Class Projects Using The Internet Virtual Adventures online field trips bring students into Through the internet, students can experience the Iditarod or While some of these projects require a http://teacher.scholastic.com/professional/teachtech/usinginternet.htm
Extractions: One of the greatest benefits of using the Internet in the classroom is to provide educational opportunities for students based on their abilities and interests. For example, I can teach a basic lesson on a writing strategy and allow a student who is interested in and motivated by baseball to find examples of the writing strategy on a baseball-focused Web site. This lesson suddenly becomes more motivating, exciting, and memorable to this student. Brain research shows that individuals remember events and facts in more detail for a longer period of time if there are emotions involved in the initial learning experience. This concept of emotional memory is highly useful as we use the Internet in our classrooms. Due to the timeliness and currency of the Internet and the fact that students can find information that naturally interests them, the Internet can increase the emotional impact of lessons, and making learning interesting, fun, and meaningful to students. This seminar discusses the use of individual and class projects using the Internet to help students experience the joy of learning for themselves. As students gain experience learning for the pure joy of learning, their emotional interest, intrinsic motivation, and hunger for knowledge also increase.
