Ways to Incorporate the Web into Classroom Lessons

What are some ways you have incorporated the Internet into your classroom lessons? Please reference your grade level and subject area(s) and possible lesson plans that work when trying to do the above...

One way that I use the web in my 8th grade language arts classroom is to have the students create their own personal blog pages using this website. The purpose is for them to be able to post their writing assignments so that their classmates could read and respond to them. It also gives them a chance to describe themselves creatively by using the personalization features available. They will often download pictures, music, and movies without having to be instructed on how to do so. This makes the assignment not only technically challenging, but stimulating to the 21st century student.

  1. Great blog. Just what is needed to get teachers and students to consider the core technology issues. Great cartoon entry. Nice job.
