Making School Internet Use Better & Safer


October is Computer Learning Month. Each year, more computers and better Internet access become available to students in our schools.

Increasingly, more research in education confirms that when high-quality digital information is available to students and well-trained teachers know how to use it, student achievement increases in both academic content and in the essential skills of reading, writing, and critical thinking.

Assign students to create a report of at least 150 words (or a PowerPoint presentation of at least two minutes and seven slides) that cites at least three resources and addresses our timely set of essential questions for critical thinking.
