Using the Internet for Instruction

I like Collaborative Problem Solving and have chosen the Webquest model by Bernie Dodge; Webquest.org, for this project. I have used this format for another lesson as part of Edtech 502 which you can view here.

Stem Cells is a good lesson for students to do research on, but the topic is huge. I want the students to focus their research on specific sites to save them time and point them at the content they need. The links I provide are still to many for one student to work through in the time allotted, the students need to work cooperatively and collaboratively to complete the task effectively.

Ethics 1.2 Shall protect the individual rights of access to materials of varying points of view. The concept of "Intellectual freedom" advocates the right of individuals to explore a wide range of information and opinions. Library, media, and technology professionals often have a major influence over access to materials and other information resources that are available to learners. It is essential that this access be guided by a policy that ensures availability to a broad range of information, ideas, and opinions.
