Using the internet in the classroom
I have been so “scared” off by the news and television about children and the internet, that I sometimes forget that it is my responsibility to help students understand that the internet can broaden their world when used appropriately. I will be teaching fifth graders next school year and am looking forward to exploring the internet with them. It will be my personal quest to overcome my own uneasiness with technology and share this vital aspect of today’s world with my students.

Agreed it is our responsibility as teachers to teach students how to work with the information on the Internet and how to be safe. We also must be aware of our school’s acceptable use policy. This will provide you with guidelines as well as your students with guidelines.
The internet is powerful we must prepare our students to work with this tool responsibly and also — creatively.
