John's class this year has been really challenging to work with. There were times that he thought using the Internet would just never be able to happen. However, John persevered and with the help of his students' parents, held his class to high standards. The work has paid off and now the class has developed to the point that they work well as a group and can handle working independently with technology. Save that for the people on the beach.
Students do research.
I show them how to search on the Web. If they misbehave and get caught, there will be consequences. Having the parents sign off first really helps. I tell the students that if they come to an inappropriate place they should turn the screen off and come and find an adult. If they do that there will be no problems.
