I thought that the internet workshop was a great idea. It is very engaging for students. It allows them to look and search for information in places that they use on a daily basis. It does not require a ton of book work or a teacher standing at the front of the class lecturing. I like how the websites were bookmarked, this will save a lot of time and aggravation if students are not used to working with computers. While I was completing the internet workshop I found that I was actually engaged. I went through the websites, answered the questions, learned a lot of things that I did not know, and even found myself playing the games. I think that the websites that we used were very user-friendly and that kids would be able to navigate these pages with ease. Another thing that I thought about was the idea of students being able to work on this at home. Also students, who were interested, could find even more information and have time to enjoy the games. The only question/concern that I have about this process is what if students do not have approval to use the internet…what would you do to still include them in this process?
