Wednesday, April 14, 1999 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER J P C3 EDUCATION / INSTRUCTION The Internet: An education tool? It's no secret that the Internet has become one of the most powerful learning tools around. Now, using the Internet, kids and teachers have a variety of educational resources at their fingertips - whether they are at home, or at school. Educational web sites Canada's SchoolNet, www.schoolnet.ca. helps teachers and students access the Information Highway. SchoolNet offers a monthly Internet newspaper, a national registry to assist graduating students with job searches and even financial grants for teachers who create interactive lesson plans. The Discovery Channel online, www.discoverv.com. offers information on science news, feature stories, and expeditions. This information can be added to lesson plans and student research projects. History lessons come alive on the Internet with the Canadian Museum of Civilization's virtual museum of human history, www.cmcc.muse.digital.ca. that lets kids experience the past for themselves. Web-based e-mail accounts let students, parents and teachers access their e-mail anytime from any computer with Internet access at home, school, on the road and even on vacation. Free web-based e-mail like Microsoft's Hotmail, available at http://msn.ca. is quickly becoming one of the most useful learning tools available through the Internet. How students and teachers use e-mail • Sharing information and resources • Asking their teachers for homework help after school • Working with classmates to coordinate group projects When teachers make e-mail a component of the curriculum, they encourage interactive, participatory education. E-mail also promotes teamwork and helps students develop writing skills, preparing them to enter university or the workforce. High school students and their teachers set up free Hotmail e-mail accounts at Thomas L. Kennedy Secondary School in Mississauga, Ontario. This access to e-mail helped a group of computer science students who used e-mail to organize group project responsibilities over the holidays so they were ready to dive in when classes began, stress-free. E- mail at the school has also been a great tool for teachers. In a math class down the hall, a teacher taught an entire calculus lesson via e-mail when he was sick, but didn't want to cancel class. E-mail and the Internet are unleashing fabulous resources to help develop a sense of learning in students today, and a powerful tool for teachers - and it's all just a click away. E ducational e -m ail g u id e lin e s To ensure students are properly supervised during classroom e-mail sessions, schools are setting and minding e-mail guidelines. Following these guidelines, teachers should keep track of e-mail passwords in the same way that they handle locker assignments and combinations. They should tell students that e- mail activity will be monitored during classtime, setting the tone and limits for e-mail privacy in a public environment. Following simple steps like these, students and teachers benefit from access to e-mail while ensuring time spent using e-mail is for educational _________ INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS donated $40,000. to die Oakville United Way 1999 Campaign.
