Creating a Student Research Portal - Kathe Santillo, techLearning
As the Internet continues to grow, so does its inclusion in education. To teachers, this can be less than advantageous if it requires more time and training to incorporate these valuable resources into classroom lessons and units. And launching a room full of fifth graders onto the Net to search independently for curriculum related resources often is more counter-productive than productive. One way to eliminate off-task searching is to develop a research portal for your students to use when working online. A research portal organizes pre-selected Web sites for student use. Using pre-selected sources eliminates the need for students to aimlessly search the Net and provides them with quality, useful sites. This makes it possible for students to spend their time on learning how to use information rather than solely on finding it.
