By organizing research, teachers can control over the sites students visit. This makes efficient use of classroom time since the sites are listed in advance. However, it requires more preparation, as the teacher must find and approve Web sites. One way to organize the research is to create a hotlist, or list of sites pertaining to the topic of study. Or you can create a hotlist of active links in your favorite word processor.
Students then open the word processing document and read the assignment.
To answer a question, they click Web site link, find the information, and switch back to the wordprocessor to type their answer. Another way to organize the research is to create a treasure hunt with questions to be answered at various sites. This can serve as the introduction to a lesson, a review, or an investigation.
