Evaluating Web-Based Lessons

Web-Based Lessons

There are many Web sites that collect and catalog lesson plans for teachers. However, just because a lesson is found on the Web does not mean that it incorporates Web-based learning. Most of the Web sites include lessons that use various forms of technology, including the Web, as well as non-technology based lessons for use in a classroom without Internet connectivity.

The collections of Web-based lessons are great for exploring how other teachers are incorporating the Web and other computer technologies into their classrooms locally, nationally, and internationally. Access to these collections enables teachers who are new to using the Web with their students to learn from the successful (and not so successfull) experiences of other teachers who are using the Web with their students.

This module will introduce you to Web sites that catalog Web-based lessons online and help you develop a guide to help you assess and identify lessons that use technologies to their fullest advantage in the classroom.

You will begin by Finding Web-Based Lessons Online.

Once you have found some good lessons that you might like to use in your classroom, you will Evaluate the Web-Based Lessons. To do this, you will develop a rubric for evaluating the quality of the Web-based lesson and use it to evaluate the sites that you have selected.
