  3. 1. Start with the Curriculum • Focus on your topic--not on the Internet • Focus on the learning objective • Key Question: When the kids have completed the unit, what do you want them to know?

  4. 2. Collect Sites • Time consuming • Make sure reading level is appropriate • Collect sites, email addresses, online experts, video-conference opportunities, etc. • Key Question: Does the resource you found meet your curriculum goals?

  5. 3. Create an activity based on your collection • Create activities that go along with the sites you selected (or select sites that go along with the activities) • Start small • Make sure students have the research skills needed to complete the task • Act as facilitator • Key Question: Can they complete the assignment using the resources you offered?

  6. Step back • Take an overview of your collection of sites • Double check your curriculum objective • Key Question: Do your resources and activities match your curriculum objectives?

  7. Implement • Make allowances for special learners • Check if additional time (or less time) is needed • See if special assistance is needed with any of the resources • Key Question: Does the unit “work?”
