This module helped me think about the impact of the Internet
on my students’ learning in the following ways…
This module reminded me that there is more to searching the
internet than typing words into Google.
As a teacher it is my responsibility to teach my students how to search
the internet properly. I forget that
there are wrong ways to search the internet.
As easy as it is today to search for different topics, it is even easier
to find the wrong answer. There are many
answers out there to questions, but just because they are on the internet does
not necessarily make them correct or fact.
As the teacher, I need to teach my students how to look up information
and how to determine the validity of the information they are finding. I need to teach them how to search properly:
what words to type into the search engine, which pages to read, and how to not get
bogged down reading every single page. I
need to teach them how to browse better.
If the main heading doesn’t necessarily correlate to our topic, they
should move on. I need to teach them how
to determine and think for themselves if the site they are on has value and
credit. I need to teach them how not to
steal from the internet. They need to
learn that they can use what is out there, but they need to give credit where
credit is due. I think the internet is a
great resource tool for my students and for me as a teacher, but just as with
everything else in the world there are rules that need to be followed. Once we know the rules, I think the internet will
be a resource I go to often.
