Internet Issues for Students and Some Ways I Can Help Them Learn/Use Producitvity Software (Week Nine)

This post includes before and after class commments.

Internet issues, in my opinion, are limited for students. Most students are computer, internet, and technology savvy – even more so than most instructors. This is not an exhaustive list but some limited issues would perhaps be:

1. Though the majority of students are internet savvy – they might tend to get bored with in-classroom instruction. The majority can aide in helping those lost.
2. 100% of students are not internet savvy – those students might get lost within the instruction. This small percentage lacking knowledge need the most help.
3. Though students will know a lot about technology, they will not know everything.

I can help my students learn/use productivity software asking questions as to what technology internet resources they use and enjoy the most. Then I can research their interests as well as others areas that may be of interest to them in which they did not previously know about. Connecting my students with information, international opportunities, on-line resources, etc. will benefit them greatly and hopefully peak their interest in stepping out of the internet box they already know and into a land of promise and opportunity.
