Introduction
Educating children is not just about books anymore. It's about allowing children to experience and
explore learning in a variety of ways. Using the Internet in education is one way teachers can allow their students
to explore and experience learning. Research and virtual trips can be used to inspire students to work hard and become
successful in life. This will help them achieve educational and lifelong goals.
I am hoping that this website will serve not only as a resource for accessing my coursework, but a resource
that assists teachers with lessons or questions they have regarding technology in education. I will continue to post
new resources as I find them.
Teachers are the main role in ensuring that students have positive experiences with technology. We
must engage them in Internet activities as much as possible to help them succeed. We need to support and encourage children
to avoid them having negative experiences online. Although it is difficult with our busy schedules, we must find time
to incorporate technology in school. "Students with limited experiences on the Internet have more difficulty developing
positive dispositions."(Castek, Bevans-Mangelson, Goldstone, 2006)
