8 Designate a student to boot up the computer each morning, as well as an afternoon person to shut the computer down. Have students create their own templates to share with other students. Use a spreadsheet program to record information gathered from the Internet or any other sources. This information may be used for research reports or to record data, such as weather statistics, demographic information, election statistics, etc. Students may create graphs of this information.
Students can participate in scavenger hunts on the Internet.
Provide students with questions displayed on laminated strips of construction paper or tag board. Provide students with the URL s of sites on the Internet or have them select from the Favorites menu. Students will evaluate these sites to determine the currency, accuracy, usefulness or other criteria you may provide. Develop an online bulletin board system to include student comments about the site of the week, homework problems or special class or school announcements. Have students locate information related to that current unit on the Internet.
