Net Gain:
Let's use the Internet effectively

Abstract:

With every new technological development that appears on the horizon, we go through a long period of technological drool, where we tend to worship the tool and not the task. It's time for us all to get beyond terminal Web lust and consider what really matters - effectively processing the information that is retrieved from Internet tools to create knowledge.

This entertaining and informative session asks participants to look at the Internet in a very different way - where the focus is on curriculum and information literacy, not just cyberspace and Web sites. It profiles an integrated and interdisciplinary, problem solving strategy called the 6 P's for teaching the essential thinking and technology skills necessary to make the Internet a really useful research tool across the curriculum.
