“Internet Workshop and Blog Publishing: Meeting Student (and Teacher)Learning Needs to Achieve Best Practice in the 21st Century Social Studies Classroom” Review

This article was actually helpful to me,  for my unit that I am doing with my class this semester is about WWII. This article gave me some great ideas to use for my unit, such as creating an activity for the students to do by investigating websites. I am planning on looking on the websites listed in the test to see if I can find information that I can use in my unit. I agree that technology needs to be integrated into teacher’s curriculum because today’s students rely a great deal on technology for many reasons and it is up to teachers to show students the right way to find reliable, enough information. I found this article to offer great ways of integrating technology into the curriculum, the students learn how to investigate websites for information, learn how to assess a website for accuracy, and how to write proficiently to share their work to the world. As mentioned before, this article did offer me fresh ideas of what to do in my unit and I enjoyed the text as well.
