Direct Teach

• Use visuals to aid understanding for the class as a whole to emphasize your lecture.

Student Presentations

• Allow students to present their projects, works, or PowerPoints.
  

Brainstorming

Brainstorm as a group while the teacher or a Student Expert records the ideas on a computer which is projecting in the room.

Begin Together as a Focus Activity

• Model an activity together, and then break into scheduled tasks.

Centers

• Small groups can cycle through the computer(s) in your classroom. WebQuests or Single Site Explorations are perfect small group activities.

Partners

• One student can read the directions while the other performs the task, then they can switch places.
• Some Internet games or activities are designed for partners. An example is Wacky Web Tales - more fun for two.
• Activities or assignments requiring research can be handy to divide into two. One student can do research in a book and another can be working on the computer, then they can switch.
• If taking written notes from an Internet Web site, one partner can be writing while the other uses the computer to look up information.
  

Structured Internet Use

• Use templates to create structured Internet activities for your classes. Examples are Webquests, Single Site Explorations, Trackstar, and TIPPA Units.

Software & Hardware Use

• Allow students to create content-based products such as word processed writings, brochures, mini-posters, websites, and many other products.
• Allow students to create or listen to video or music connected to the content.
• Bring students to the lab to use scanners, color printers, and other hardware not available in your classroom.
• Connect your students to the world with ePals and blogging.
