A Little HumorFirst… A wise school teacher sends this note to all parents on the first day of school: "If you promise not to believe everything your child says happens at school, I'll promise not to believe everything he says happens at home." Little Johnny had finished his summer vacation and gone back to school. Two days later his teacher phoned his mother to tell her that he was misbehaving. "Wait a minute," she said. "I had Johnny with me for three months and I never called you once when he misbehaved." Teacher: Where is your homework? Pupil: I lost it fighting this kid who said you weren't the best teacher in the school

- 102. How do Istart? Set goals for you and your students Teacher Goals: I want to feel confident when my students speak about the Internet. I want to learn how to use the Internet to find teacher materials. I want to integrate the Internet into my curriculum. Kelly, Deidre, “The Year Ahead”, Classroom Connect, September 2000, p. 16.
- 103. How do Istart? Set goals for you and your students Student Goals: I want my students to treat the Internet as a tool, not a toy. I want my students to learn how to use the Internet as a publishing tool. I want my students to learn how to use the Internet as a research tool. Kelly, Deidre, “The Year Ahead”, Classroom Connect, September 2000, p. 16.
- 104. How do Istart? Look at current curriculum with an eye towards where it may be lacking Do learners come out of the unit knowing enough information? Are the students actively engaged? Do they pursue higher-level thinking? Create a Web-based activity for the learning aspect that you would revise anyway (WebQuest, Treasure Hunt…)
- 105. How do Istart? Once you feel comfortable with the tools, you change YOUR way of thinking Become creative and internalize the use of the tools NETS ( http://cnets.iste.org ) National Educational Technology Standards for teachers and students
- 106. Teaching and LearningCarefully guided and structured Learners are engaged Students must understand exploration ( not playing around ) Students are investigating, asking questions, writing, etc. Developing reading, writing, and thinking skills.
