 |
Instructional Objective: Students will learn about appropriate Internet usage including page navigation, security, and information referencing Behavioural Objective: Students will be able to read on-line material regarding Internet usage and to participate in a class discussion to reinforce their learning about effectivve and appropriate Internet use. Curriculum Outcomes: # 1, 2, 4, 5 Introduction: - explain to students that the Yugoslavia unit will rely heavily on Internet usage - review information before starting Learning Activity Procedure: - refer students to on-line guidelines for Internet usage and have students read them - have students practice navigation and referencing materials by visiting the following site: www.lonelyplanet.com/destinations/europe/yugoslavia/culture.htm |
| - facilitate a discussion about appropriate Internet usage Sample Questions: - how do you find and follow a link? - what does "plagarism" mean? - how should you reference another person's page? - why is it important to date each reference you make? - why is it dangerous to offer personal information on the web? - which sites are appropriate to visit in a public lab? which are not? Conclusion: - tie together importance of responsible and safe Internet usage Evaluation: - teacher circulation - are students on-task? - student participation and analysis of student responses and justifications - no homework Differentiation Possibilities: - have gifted students who are already familiar with the Internet begin work on a web-page designed to document the class' learning about Yugoslavia (have them decide on a colour scheme, layout etc.) - have modified students work in groups to read the guidelines and visit the site (they would not practice the referencing) |
