Of course, all teachers want meaningful student activities for students, but this is particularly important with web based lessons. It is a fact, it is very easy to get lost on the web. Having students collect information, and enter it in a database or report could be options. Publishing on the Internet can be a meaningful lesson for students on many levels. Part of the PBS program, had students write updated news stories about the Nagano Olympics, and uploaded them onto the Internet.
Classes can do similar activities on a smaller level.
For some students, the prospect of web publishing means room for growth, self-esteem, and real word experience, and those are the goals of vocational education. Finally, using the Internet for circulating information to students and parents is an easy way to implement the Internet in the classroom. A teacher can post homework, missed work assignments, and links important to the content area on the web. Not all families have the Internet, but this is definitely a good supplement.
