Introduction 1.1 GEt students an email account to start electronic journals with the instructor Introduce students to the Internet-how to open the browser, how to click around a page. Students follow a scavenger hunt looking for specific information on pages. These lessons are not meant to be for individual study. Instruction is crucial at each step of the way. This method teaches students about the Internet without teaching the Internet.
Students learn how to use the Internet as a tool for expressing themselves or finding information.
Students are taught how to navigate, click, double click and scroll by doing activities that are useful for them. My class learned a lot last semester going through these activities. I will be teaching the class again next semester and will add more activities as needed. I anticipate the next two lessons will deal with searching for information on the Internet. You suggestions and feedback would be greatly appreciated.
