- 83. How do I start? 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…)
- 84. How do I start? 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
- 85. Teaching and Learning Carefully 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.
