Possible Actions
Encourage students to use the web as a research
tool on a topic of great personal interest. Give parameters for the
expected product, but let the student emerge as chief designer.
Review your favorite on-line educational game
or activity. List the intelligences a student would have to tap to
do well. Create a multiple intelligence rubric for the piece.
Create an extended learning program which focuses
on on-line learning activities that could be used to "reteach"
skills which students missed in class.
Identify software/on-line learning activities
which can be used to accommodate a learner with unique learning capacities.
Choose one state standard relevant to your
teaching and have each student create a problem which requires
the performance of that standard. Use the web to find the resources
to solve the problem.
