Reflecting on What I Know pg 146 1-3

1. Now that I have access to the Web, how can I use it effectively?
I believe making sure the students use this the best way possible and intergrating it into each lesson as much as possible would be the best possible way to use it effectively. The Web, and other technologies are only being used more frequently and the more our students know, the better.  Of course we as educators need to make sure it is a productive tool in our lesson plan, that offers a very large database to get a lot done in a small time frame.
2. How do I manage students' use of the Web in my class?
Make sure each child and parent have reviewed and signed an "acceptable use policy." This Policy should go over use of the internet, responsibilities, acceptable and unacceptable behavior on the internet, consequences, parent notification, and access. Most districts use filtering software, hopefully yours will be successful in preventing access to harmful sights.
3.Which features of the Web do I use?
Depending on what grade level I was working with,Dictionary.com,  Google, Dog Pile, Ask, etc.  would be a good sights to start with. Depending on what subject they were researching. However, Google could lead to other sights that were not approiate. Being the educator, and knowing the subject were going to be researching, I would probably have domains listed on the white board as the students came in the room that were allowed to be searched. During their research time, I would walk around the room, and make sure these were the sights being searched and help the make sure nothing was being plagerized, etc.
