The Internet and Instruction
 

   BUY THIS BOOK FROM BARNES & NOBLE

 

Barron, Ann E., & Ivers, Karen S. (1996). The internet and instruction: Activities and ideas.   Englewood, CO: Libraries Unlimited.

Note: this summary doesn't represent the entire book, just a few of the techniques I liked.

 

IDEAS FOR ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION

 

  • Electronic Pen Pals: messages are exchanged with peers in another school, state, or country.  Consider cross-cultural or cross-age pairings or groups.  May be done at individual or group levels.

  • Peer-to-Peer Tutoring (aka electronic mentoring): links students  with others who provide one-on-one assistance and guidance on a routine basis.  May use email or chat.

  • Round-Robin Publishing:  a class or group starts a story with one paragraph and sends it to another class.  Students work to add a new paragraph to the story, and the story variations rotate to the next class.

  • HTML Publishing:  this may be as simple as a student homepage created by typing in a form, or as elaborate as creating entire web sites.
