to utilize a classroom web site for publication of student work.
ED
422/522 - Electronic Resources: Issues and Practice (2 cr.)
Issues
and Practice will cover many areas of the electronic research process of
emerging technology for K-12 teachers. Using
computer-mediated communication methods, students will submit assignments
electronically (e-mail; Web Board), and will also have hands-on experience in
Internet research, along with knowledge and skill building that will transfer
across multiple platforms and settings.
This
2-credit course will cover copyright laws and determine when and how to use
images and music downloaded from the Internet.
Participants will learn how the Internet can affect privacy and how to
