Day 2-An Internet Primer for Teachers

It is really useful to teach young people how to effectively search for information online. I thought that the internet primer for teachers was a very good article for new teachers and others who may not yet feel comfortable navigating their way through the World Wide Web. I thought that the strategies that were provided would be very useful to students because they seemed to gradually narrow the focus of the search until it was possible to find the exact information that was being sought after. I also really liked how they encouraged young students to use bookmarks to save the location of some of their favorite websites for easy access. This information is really useful for all teachers, but I think that younger students would really benefit from it the most. I think that student must begin to gain experience navigating, creating, and socializing on the web at a early age, however as teachers and parents we must make sure that their journeys are safe ones.
