A useful way to incorporate the use of the web for our older students would be by making a WebQuest. A WebQuest is a way you can cover content standards by using technology resources to do that. To create a WebQuest, start with a key objective that you want to cover. Then plan out resources that the students will navigate to so they can obtain information to help them develop a more complex analysis of the subject. As the teacher, you can have them navigate to a page, which could lead them to other pages to help on their information search. By using a WebQuest in class, students are becoming more competent users of the web while obtaining the information required in the classroom. By using this alternative method to obtain the knowledge, students might show a better understanding of the content because they obtained it in a new and exciting way!
