We want our students to use the net in a timely, disciplined manner; to be able to work through the frustration till they find what they need.
- We can give them a map to the unknown wilds of the net (to avoid floundering and wasting time).
Examples of lessons with integrated maps.
- We can show them how to organize online information.
- organizing, filing: bookmarks, Creating blogs to keep track, Keeping bookmarks online; notebooks with embedded videos
- We can teach them how to keep an integrated online office (e.g. Google Docs )
- We can teach them when to commit to paper ( e.g. print out indexes, edit writing on paper) and when not ( e.g. e-mail instead)
- We can teach them how to pare down the infoglut by requesting information specific to their needs or interests
e.g. ALERTS, RSS FEEDS ( from sites, databases, google news)
