Kevin O'Malley's List: Technology_Integration

• Here is a great site with information about evaluating web resources
• Unlike public libraries, school libraries have the ability to restrict what is  viewed on the internet. Students caught accessing information that is  questionable can be subject to disciplinary action.
• The effort is definitely worth it because the possibilities are endless!

• see Free  Home Pages for Educators for more information.
• Research is the number one reason to use the internet in education.
• Here's an example of a great research project: Using this site's new Lecture Outline Series  for the History of China, students can research directly off this page and  then present the information they find.
• One concern which I will discuss in Part II of this article is the quality of  the information found online.
• help the student determine whether their information is from a reliable source.  This is also an important lesson for them to learn for research in college and  beyond.
• A second project that can help integrate technology while truly getting the  students excited about school is website creation.
• A newer area of the internet to explore is online assessment. You can create  your own tests online through your own website.
