One way I have learned to use the Internet to support my teaching and enhance student learning is how to use Google Images. (Thanks to the ladies who sat with me during the face to face training.) I had never done this prior to class. I often tried to look for pictures on the internet but Google Images will make this so much faster and easier.

Another thing I learned was about the copyright laws and how they apply to internet usage. This knowledge will not benefit my students as much as it wil me.

All students and parents sign a computer agreement form in the fall, however I feel the primary way to promote responsible and appropriate internet use is through constant monitoring. My kindergarten students do not conduct independent web searches. They are allowed to go to sites that I have previously marked as favorites.
