Tomorrow's illiterate will not be the man who can't read; he will be the man who has not learned how to learn." Herbert Gerjuoy Correlate Mike Eisenberg's and Bob Berkowitz' Big6 Skills with the national Information Literacy Standards developed by the American Association of School Librarians ( AASL ) and Association for Educational and Communications Technology ( AECT ) and the National Educational Technology Standards for Students ( NETS ) to organize an introduction to research on the Internet.

Extractions: An Idea Page Students at all levels get excited about using the web and can benefit from using the web for up-to-date information. Recommended grade levels are shown, but you should tailor the project to your students. At the end, we even have a couple of web projects for K-4 As students become more advanced at web use, they can begin to create their own pages. Any of the following ideas can be developed for advanced students by having them work in teams to create a Web Virtual Collection or Exhibition on the topic to share with others. Reminder: One of the most important things you can do for your students is help them learn to evaluate information! Have them ask: Who provided this information? What are his or her qualifications? Is this information consistent with what experts say? Does this information reflect a particular viewpoint? What are the other viewpoints? What can I learn from this web page? Here are some sources of information on this: Evaluating World Wide Web Information Criteria for evaluation of Internet Information Resources For these exercises, the search tools of the Web will be very useful. Any of the following projects can be enhanced by finding more supporting information. The students can do most of this! A web site that links all of the major search sites is found at

Benson, and Department of Education Commissioner Nicholas Donohue announced a cooperative effort to bring the ' NetSmartz Workshop ' to New Hampshires children. The program, provided at no cost to New Hampshire, uses age-appropriate, 3-D activities to teach children (ages 5 thru 17) how to stay safer on the Internet. The goal of the NetSmartz Workshop is to extend the safety awareness of children to prevent victimization and increase self-confidence whenever they go online. A specific version of the ' NetSmartz Workshop ' was designed for New Hampshire. When students complete workshop activities, theyll receive a computer-generated certificate signed by New Hampshire Attorney General Peter Heed. Downloadable NetSmartz activities and lots of additional materials for classroom use are available from the NetSmartz New Hampshire site. The ' NetSmartz Workshop ' was made possible via a public-private partnership with the United States Congress, United States Department of Justices Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and Boys and Girls Clubs of America. It was designed to entertain children while educating them about Internet Safety.

Extractions: Each school year, most science teachers begin the year by teaching the scientific method. Rather than lecturing to my students on how to develop a research question, formulate a hypothesis, and concoct a research protocol, my ninth grade biology students learned the scientific method by doing science! By becoming engaged in active investigations, students found it a less difficult task to develop research questions. The problem became one of narrowing down the questions each group would study! Students learned how to perform serial dilutions to achieve the right concentration of yeast cells; they also learned how to "plate out" the yeast onto agar gels while using aseptic techniques (something I had not learned until I encountered microbiology my junior year of college). Once the yeast was properly plated onto agar, the plates were carried outside and exposed at various time intervals to the Kansas sun. My students were active researchers in the field. One student ventured to ask: "Is THIS how real scientists 'do science'?" Yes, indeed it was! I witnessed an improvement in student attitude, as this special group of ninth graders no longer dragged their feet into the classroom each day. Instead, we actually had to stop everyone from working at the beginning of each class period in order to go over the daily tasks. Intrinsic motivation began to change as they took an active role and ownership in their learning environment. Each day meant a short 52-minute period to devise a course of study, finish up on a previous experiment, write up results, or discuss problems or confusions with peers and online mentors. This supported excellent student-centered discussions. Topics ranged from questioning and researching similarities between yeast DNA and our own DNA, as well as spin-off research projects by groups of students interested in investigating the affects of prolonged UV-radiation exposure to organisms other than our friendly yeast.
