EditSteps

  1. Use Web Resources for Teaching Step 1.jpg
    1
    Become familiar with the various types of websites that support classroom teachers and instruction (including home-schooling). Search for things such as lesson plans, exercises, quizzes, handouts, posters, photocopy-ready documents, etc. to see the variety of sites and support materials available.

    Determine what you need to find to help you with your particular lesson. The internet is overly rich in both resources and distractions.

    Decide if you are seeking information from others or you want to offer your work for the benefit of all on the internet.

    Look at public sites not necessarily geared toward teachers to find more support materials. Such sites may be from museums, libraries, universities, magazines, government agencies, print media, Non Government Organizations, and may offer photos, video, sound files, copies of original documents, maps, etc. to support your teaching.
  5. 5
    Post your original lesson plans on the Reading International Wiki. This will turn them into a collaborative writing project and put them in the public domain.

    Use a computer to record the audio of you giving a lesson. Save it as a mp3 and upload it to a web host. Students will be able to download the lesson and review the lesson again and again at home. Those students who were absent will be able to keep up by downloading the lesson and listening at home.

    Discuss with colleagues how they use internet resources and collaborate on the best ideas.
