| Students are
provided with a pre-set list of web sites. They are instructed to use
those websites to gather information to answer questions provided by the
teacher. This type of activity builds student skills in using the Internet
as a source of information. It also can develop skills in judging the
source and reliability of the information provided at the web site. In a
learning cycle unit, this might fit well in the “engage” or
“explain” components. |
|
| Examples: | |
| This web site and
associated student handout explores the affects of exercise on some of the
human body systems. It also asks students to consider each source of
information and to rate its accuracy. |
|
| You can search by
topic and grade level among more than 1,000 existing Treasure Hunts at
this web site. |
