Dear LM_NET,
Here are the results to cares and cures for Internet Ennui. There are =
several good ideas and food for thought.
...Quite a few of our classes are doing curriculum related =
research...say on Holocaust and then use the Internet for information =
and pictures to incorporate into a PowerPoint presentation.
...Our marketing class does a wonderful project on fashion designers =
that ends
up mostly web based. We have some print that she uses but then the =
students
go on line to the designers home pages.
...The foreign language classes use the Internet in addition to print =
for
travel and cultural research on different cities and then students need =
to
make travel brochures, posters or reports.
...Our PE classes use our web-based magazine index to find articles on =
Nutrition. Students have to find three articles on a topic such as =
"nutrition and vitamins" and then they have to write a paper summarizing =
the three opinions and listing their
own perception.
...It seems like the business department has some of the best units. I =
think
it is because they deal with such current issues. =20
...I've always found collaborative projects to be the most exciting type =
of Internet application. I'm biased, of course, but I'd direct you to =
the OnlineClass collaborative projects at least to see what activities =
other schools are doing. You can take a tour of the school work. =
http://www.onlineclass.com
...I enjoy looking for info about the authors I highlight in my lessons =
and=20
book talks. There is some amazing free stuff out there!
It seems I am not alone with my boredom of the Internet...
...I thought I was the only one bored with it. I sure am not a =
surfer--I go
to it only when I really need to find an answer that I can't find
elsewhere.
...I have ennui so much I made a web page about it.
www.dmcom.net/dkissane
...Actually, I am really tired of all the hoopla...I wish we could just =
read
and kids could learn to write sentences correctly.
Great suggestions for Internet Ennui from my learned colleagues!
Yours,
Lisa
