      How can you use the internet to avoid pitfalls for students during summer?

      Hillary, I agree. We should always have plan B, and allowing the child to use both ways to map a trip will not hurt them. I believe that parents like you say are the ones to motivate the student once they leave school. In the district that I work at, we are having a summer slide program. It is a little different because instead of researching they read book and test (AR). They are using the Internet to test because they are able to do it form home. I like this idea of summer slide programs.
  • Does this website answer my specific question? How do a variety of websites answer the same question? (We are comparing and contrasting without the Venn diagram!) Are all web resources equal and accurate, and if not, how can I tell?

      The highlighted area is important because when we research anything on the web it is important to follow these search results.

      Hillary, YES!!!! (caps because I agree 100%) Students at times are gullible and they will believe anything they read online and what people say. It is important to teach children that another importance or safety of online researching is how reliable the source is. That is a great idea that I had not thought about.

      Lucretia, I have seen this commercial and it is funny. Commercials are powerful because they make a child want the product and ask their parents. The greatness of commercials. are we on to something here?

  • How to Engage Children in Research at Home

      The following are some examples on how parents can engage students via internet usage. 
  • The ability for children to ask and answer their own questions is one of the most fundamental learning objectives for life. This informal research, with children seeking to answer their own questions, is engaging, motivating and empowering. A cyclic pattern of research is established -- curiosity leading to research and back again to curiosity and follow-up questions.

      Children are not always engaged and are usually only interested in what they are curious about. Why not allow that curiosity to turn into research. Allowing the students to use the internet is fun and they will be learning at the same time.

    What are Discussion Forums and How do They Enhance Learning?

    Discussion forums are meeting places where people that are working, sharing, or debating on the same topic could interact. Discussion forums allow people to comment as many times sort of in-class discussion, but online. Many students are shy or do not like to be embarrassed in class in case they do not know the correct answer (This was me in grade school). This online forum allows all students to discuss without having to be in public.

    Forums enhance learning as they engage the students using the Internet, which now a days is very famous amongst young people. These forums allow the "boring" assignment to become interesting to the student and in return, are more open to share ideas, comment on other's ideas, share experiences, discuss, and debate more on a specific question or topic because they feel comfortable and do not have to do it in public. This will enable that shy student to collaborate, feel like he/she is heard, and allows those students that always want to answer or participate to allow others to be heard as well.
