The opportunities to teach using the Internet have never been greater than now. Just like television in the 1960's, computers and the Internet will not replace teachers. Instead, these new technologies will provide us the opportunity to enhance student learning.
Many teachers wonder how to use the Internet to teach in the classroom.
In this issue, I want to offer a few guidelines that you can use to formulate your own Internet- enhanced lesson plans. In the next issue, I will provide you with examples of actual social studies activities that I have used, to give you an idea of how to apply these guidelines to create fun and educational classroom Internet projects. Before I jump into the guidelines, here is a little background information. Ask your administrator to check with your legal department to draft one if they have not yet done so. An AUP is a contract that students and their parents sign that helps protect children and limit your liability in Internet-related crime.
