Web-Browsing: Research and Citing Sources Grades 6-8
Learning.com Webling: http://learning.com
I found the Web-Browsing Unit to be a very useful resource. It mostly just reitterated and confirmed information that I already knew, but it was still very informative. I think that it would such an asset in a classroom environment, especially for children with no prior knowledge of the technical skills. The way that the lessons are broken down it makes it easy to keep up with everything they are demonstrating and getting the kids to get involved and actually help navigate through the sites is a really great utilization of their newly aquired skills. I didn't really come across any problems while using the program. I had some trouble keeping the sound adjusted properly, but that was just on the computer that I was using itself. But I did find it very useful that you were able to pause, and continue the lesson, it made it easy to take time out.
