Jump to Examples of how Davis Teachers are Integrating:

|
- Always provide students with a structured task
and a time limit.
Students can find thousands of things of interest
on the Web. By giving them a specific task
(view a sample webquest
or a scavenger
hunt as examples) and a time limit, you
focus their energy on the curricular task at hand
- Create shortcuts to the desired web site on the
desktop or on disk to speed student access.
- View the desired web page in either Netscape
Navigator or Internet Explorer.
- Right click on the web page and select Create
Shortcut from the menu which pops up.
- This places a shortcut to the webpage on your
desktop. To place the bookmark on a disk, move
to your desktop and then
- Right click on the shortcut you created.
- Select Send To from the pop up menu and select
Floppy A: Drive.
- Repeat the process for each web page shortcut
on the desktop.
- Enlarge the font size to more easily project
the web page to the class.
- Click on View and then select Text Size.
- Next select the larger size of font needed.
- Use filtered search engines.
- Filtered Search engines eliminate non-educational
or offensive site descriptions when students carry
out a search. As a trade off, filtered search
engines generally have a smaller scope of possible
"hits" for any given topic on which you decide
to search.
- Here are three of my favorite filtered search
engines:
- Altavista
allows you to activate a family filter to screen
out some of it's returned sites.
