How can I use the Internet to support my teaching and students' learning?

The internet brings vast amounts of information quickly and easily to students. It allows information to be the secondary focus, next to what students do with the information. It allows students to reach higher into Bloom's taxonomy with structured tasks that require not just knowing the information, but owning it in the quest to solve a problem or answer an open ended question.

How can I ensure responsible and appropriate use of the Internet?

By introducing, modeling and setting expectations about the proper use of copyrighted information. By guiding students through the process of learning to spot bias and erronious information. By helping students to compile an ever growing list of trustworthy sites to lean on while completing tasks.

M2 Reflection

This Module has forced me to become more organized and focused when it comes to planning my unit. It has opened my eyes to the bigger picture when it comes to assessments and made me think deeper about what I want to assess.
