The Internet as a tool can support students' learning by eliminating the barriers to access information. With the Internet and a good teacher, students can locate information and communicate with others, allowing them to connect with relevant real-world sources. Any curriculum that exposes students to life beyond their everyday experience will be nourished by the global sights, sounds, and stories the Internet brings into the classroom with the click of a mouse. Students, in turn, can contribute their discoveries and writing to the world through the Internet. The curriculum web sites were chosen specifically to interlock with the curriculum as presented by the Conant staff.
Web sites correspond to particular units that different grade levels have developed.
The sites are to be used by the teacher as support and enrichment for lesson plans, or accessed for use by the whole class with a television connection. Individuals could access the sites as well, for research or simply for the sake of interest. The following hot links will provide teachers and students at the Conant with valuable insights to online learning.
