Web Exercise (10 points) As a resource for your Internet project we will use the website How to Use the Internet in Your Classroom at http://www.canter.net/netskills. The site also has additional articles, resources and activities related to the Internet in the classroom as well as a useful glossary with descriptions of terms.
In this exercise you will explore the three different types of web projects. For each type (Research Module, Webquest, Internet Collaboration), you need to go through the steps listed in the activities. The idea of this task is to familiarize you with the various project types, and allow you to explore some existing versions of each type.
Finally, you will evaluate samples of each type of activity in a word document. The evaluations can be in a narrative voice, 1 to 2 pages (total). Save the file as lastname_webdoc and send it as an email attachment.
