MORE INTERNET CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES




The following activities were created by teachers attending workshops on "Integrating the Internet Into the One-Computer Classroom". What a wonderful first effort, done in less than 20 minutes! You, too, can create these lessons for your students.
They may be used individually, with cooperative groups, or as whole-class Internet lessons. They begin with a scenario that the student becomes a part of and needs to find a solution to. There are questions to guide the student, and a suggested site at which to locate information to get the desired results.
PLEASE NOTE: Since many of these were created months ago, links within the lessons may be defunct or moved. You may substitute whatever link you feel will provide the desired information.
