Module 3: Making Connections

Description: In this module, after sharing your presentation and assessment to gauge student needs, you think about how to incorporate 21st century skills into your unit. You then explore interactive Internet-based resources for student collaboration and communication. You also look at ways to efficiently locate and evaluate relevant Internet Web sites for research. After investigating copyright laws and legal use of these Web sites, you plan how to integrate the use of the Internet into your unit.

Blogging My Journey:

This module has helped me think about the impact of the Internet on my students’ learning in the following ways…

Students can continue to communicate about classroom topics with other students outside of class through the use of blogs, skype, chat, and IM.

Students can post and share information on certain topics with others.

Students can gain a deeper understanding of information through research.

It is important for students to learn the facts about copyrights and published information.
