Reflection on chapter 11

I did not get much from chapter 11 to answer my question. I had question 10 and the chapter did not say much about teaching using the internet. It gave maybe one or two things. I felt that the chapter was helpful with other information. It was helpful in learning what history is about and how to go about teaching certain parts of history. The book also gave a lot of information about students and how they learn history. I did my best to answer the question with the little bit of information I received from the book and I used the outside information I got from my social studies methods class.

 10. Discuss and describe multiple roles for the Internet in the teaching of history and evaluate the practicality of each.

The internet has many role in teaching history in the classroom.The internet can be used to create active games for student to learn and be engaged in history.  Their are many games online that students can use to solve problems like historians use to do. Some other things that can be found online are drills and practices. The internet is a helpful resource for students to find information about history. There are articles, blogs and websites that the students can engage in. The articles can help students for research projects to learn more about people in history. The blogs can be used to have class discussions and students can add images or videos to their blogs to show others. The internet can get  videos of people, objects and traditions. Youtube can be used to show students information about history.  The internet can also be use to help teachers to receive more information at a low cost.  The internet is a great tool for students to experience something different and new. The students can use the internet to present projects in an interesting way. They can use powerpoint, movenote, or prez. These are website that can present students work creatively. If students have a hard time presenting in front of classmates they can use movenote to record themselves and just play the video in class. The internet widens learning and expands children's minds. They have access to many different information and tools that can help them in or out of the classroom. Also teachers can use the internet to present notes and activities in an engaging and interesting way. The teacher can also use the internet for quizzes or test.  The internet broadens learning and offers many opportunities for creative learning experiences. Students in this generation are growing up with technology so it is important to incorporate it in the classroom. It makes learning more active and interesting. The teacher can find information quicker and easier.
