Instructions
for Using Lessons on the
Internet
Before
setting your students off on an Internet lesson, there is basic
computer
information that they need to know. The following are
instructions
that need to be given and/or taught before the lesson begins:
Instructions to the Student
Your task in an on-line lesson
is
to surf through the Internet links usually attached to the lesson and
find
pictures, text, maps, facts, quotes, or controversies that give you the
information you need for your report. You can take notes on
paper,
or you can capture the text and images that you find important.
Specifically, you will:
- Surf the Internet sites
linked to your
part of the lesson.
- Copy any text you want by
dragging
across the words then using the Edit - Copy command on the menubar.
- Paste the Text into a
word
processor.
- Save images you like by
downloading
them (or on a Macintosh copying them to the desktop).
(Note:
check with the authors of the page to see if any copyright rules
apply.
Usually students are allowed to download images that will only be used
in the classroom. A good practice to get into is to use the email
link on the page that has an image you want an ask permission. You
might
be surprised at the response you get.)
- Either paste the images
you've downloaded
or copied into your desktop publishing program or you can use a
graphics
viewer to display your collection of images.
- You may be asked to cite
where the
picture or text for your report came from. See the citation below
for one form.
