Instructional time is at a premium in today's classrooms.
Searching the Internet for information is, at best, a very time-consuming task. As an alternative to having students search the Internet for information, teachers may do the searching in preparation for the learning activity. The problem with this method is that the bookmarks are specific to the machine being used at the time. A second, more efficient, method of sharing identified resources is to actually embed them into the lesson assignment. The Internet access is used in the data gathering phase of a project.
