This workshop will show educators
how to access and use the Internet. The Internet is a worldwide computer
network made up of thousands of separate computer systems at universities,
corporations, government agencies, and other organizations. Participants will
be able to communicate and exchange information around the world via email, the
World Wide Web, and other Internet software tools. There is a wealth of information
(from science to history to current events) available on the Internet that
educators can use in their classrooms and professional activities. Information
is available in many multimedia forms including hypertext, graphics, video, and
sound. Participants will learn how to search the Internet for such information
and how to involve their students in "Navigating and Using the
Internet." Participants may build their own basic WWW home page or blog. Intended
for all teachers K-12.
Course Credits: 3 s. h.
