Hello CUE members,

I think most of you will find this more interesting and certainly more useful than reading my resume.

Here are a few examples of some of the ways I have used the Internet as a personal briefcase, as well as for a wide range of support for meeting the needs of my classroom and for standards compliance:

Technology can offer many different methods to support classroom content, standards and student learning. These may include:

• hotlist of resources that support overall content or lesson specific activities
  • Global Connections
• lesson plans and student instructions, with only incidental use of the Internet or technology
  • Ancient China
  • Ancient Greece
  • Plane and Simple
• simple worksheets that can be shared with colleagues in joint pojects
  • CWHP Evaluation Criteria sheets
  • Prealgebra support and related word problems
• lists for online student and parent communication
  • homework, announcements and classroom support
  • course syllabus
• Projects to use to teach analysis of websites
  • debates
  • Current Events
• access
  • school databases
• just to keep files for easy access
  • OnCUE article:Version:
    Internationalism: Using Technology to Connect Students and Nations

They may also include full blown lessons and units that utilize the special characteristics of the Internet and the marriage of technology and curriculum:

• webquests
  • World War 1 WebQuest
• standard lessons that add the resource dimensions of the Internet
  • Scavenger hunts
    • THE WORLD OF COLUMBUS
    • The Renaissance Art Scavenger Hunt
  • The Bill of Rights: Rights vs. Privileges
• Current Events
  • note: the original idea for this type of Curent Event Project was created by Michael Goldstein, a teacher at Tamalpais High School, Mill Valley, CA

Teaching skills with 'how to' instruction sheets

• 30-second instruction guides
  • Netscape
  • Word
