Curriculum Web #1... Web-Based Instructional Environments (Nicenet)
Curriculum Web 1 - Home Activity 1(a) Activity 1(b) Activity 2 Activity 3 Resource Page Teacher Guide Rubric Morill School - Home	Introduction Welcome! This Curriculum Web is the first in a series, intended to help teachers better understand how technology can be incorporated into daily classroom instruction. This first set of Activities and Resource pages looks at Web-Based Instructional Environments. Such an environment, as Rachel Eddington shares, facilitates comunication for teachers with students, students with students, and teachers with teachers. Administrators and parents can easily join this forum as well. Further, traditional lessons and projects, that would otherwise be restricted to the general confines of your classroom, can be organized in a location "online", accessible from anywhere that a participant has internet access. Essentially, a teacher, or group of teachers, can deliver instruction, organize resources, facilitate discussions and provide feedback for their students. And of course, student work, in a variety of formats, can be recieved, reviewed, posted, critiqued, and so on. You will soon see how all this works through a free service provided by "Nicenet". The steps involved are surprisingly simple, and we're sure that before long you will want to deliver a variety of instruction using some form of a Web-Based Instructional Environment. Please move on now to Activity 1. You are also free to have a look at the Teacher Guide for a more detailed outline of the goals and structure behind this Curriculum Web.
