Title: "Using the Internet in Language Arts: How can I integrate the Internet into my K-6 Language Arts curriculum?"
Author: Tammy Payton
Course Fee: $150.00
Credits: 1 graduate credit available
Instructor: LTTS Facilitator
Abstract: Although most teachers recognize the wealth of information and the opportunities for interaction provided by the World Wide Web, many elementary teachers do not view the Internet as a tool for their young learners. However, the Internet can be a tool to promote student learning even at the primary level, and indeed, many school districts have adopted technology standards that mandate measurable technology objectives in the lower elementary grades. Effectively utilizing Web-based resources and meeting these objectives can be a challenge for teachers. In this course, you will utilize the NETS foundations as a guide for selecting Internet resources and develop several inquiry-based lesson plans for integrating them into your K-6 Language Arts curriculum in a meaningful way. In addition, these lessons will be aligned to your local, state and national Language Arts standards.
