Activity 1: Information Literacy and the Internet
Recommended Time: 45 minutes
Sub-unit Competency
How do we navigate the World Wide Web to find good teaching resources? It is after all an enormous 'place'! Without the use of special software, the search engine, the benefits of the Internet will not be realised. In this sub-unit we will introduce these useful Internet tools.
Activity 2: Internet Search Basics
Recommended Time: 45 minutes
Activity 3: Advanced Search Techniques
Recommended Time: 50 minutes
Sub-unit Competency
Did the search engines provide any good teaching resources? Sometimes even with the power of advanced search the results can be disappointing. Consequently its a good idea to find, and then return regularly, to few relevant curriculum sites. In this sub-unit we will introduce you to random selection of such sites to see if any are appropriate to your needs.
Activity 4: Dedicated Curriculum Sites
A] Mathematics and Science
B] Languages
Recommended Time: 80 minutes
