Thanks for your comments. I agree that students much prefer the Internet for research over print material. The research tools that libraries subscribe to should be as accurate as reference books, but students often don't differentiate between reliable sources and regular web sites. If you are interested in teaching students to look closer at sites, check my home page, under web evaluation.
These two sites will provide a variety of lessons and worksheets for different levels.

Thanks for taking my class. I've enjoyed our time together, and hope that you have learned something that you can take back to your school and use.

I've enjoyed this class, and I've learned a lot!! Now I know why you kept the pace so fast--so we wouldn't go off searching sites on our own if we finished early.
Thanks again,
DH
Thanks. There was a lot of great information presented in this class. Now we get to have fun trying to file all our handouts back at school!
Thanks for all the new ideas, websites, and skills that I've learned in the class. My own children have already used some of the websites I was introduced to in the class!! I'll be looking for any new Technology classes you may be teaching!!

I liked this class because it shows how quick everything is changing in terms of putting everything on the internet. Thanks for all of your input!

Thanks for helping me better understand what a Blog is. I hear technology lingo all the time and usually have no clue what they are talking about. Now I can respond to our principal's blog!

Thanks for reducing Internet "Fear Factor". You kept us on track. SS
Thank you Mary for all the work you put into this class. I took this class to learn more about all the new tools to use on the web. This class addressed just that. I felt that we just touched on much of the information and the class could be longer. Thanks again for all the technological information you gave to us in this course.

I will appreciate learning about new or different approaches to teaching students (grades 3-5) about website evaluation. I taught a two day lesson to fifth grade last year, based on Kathy Shrock's resources, but would like to improve upon it. It was not until day 2 that I was able to build in some interactive activities, and would prefer to have it occur sooner in the lesson to keep students engaged. Also, having new material will help when I am called upon to repeat the content later in the year as a review or mini-refresher.
