 How
many times have you thought the Internet would be a great resource,
but didn't have time to search and then prepare a lesson? These lessons
were created to assist teachers with integrating Internet materials
into the classroom curriculum during the 2008 election season.
Feel
free to change any of the activities to better fit into your particular
learning situation. These are merely ideas and suggestions for using
the resources and technology that are available. You may want students
to work in groups rather than individually.
Be
sure to instruct your students that these are not cut and paste projects.
They should be gathering, evaluating, and synthesizing the information.
Explaining copyright
and how to cite Internet sources are also
important topics to cover.
Various
video and audio formats are used on the Internet. Firefox and Internet
Explorer include built-in support for many of the sound and image formats.
You may still need plug-ins such as Flash, Shockwave, or
QuickTime. Many Web sites will link to the software sites.
