Web Browsing Tutorial Set "L" for grade levels 6-8
The series of tutorials helped me learn the specific names of web browsing tools.
It guided me through how to do tasks such as finding a website, citing sources bookmarking and much more. It demonstrates ethic code of technology and how technology can be used for researching. It familiarized me with the function of the different parts of a URL. It guided me through a type of learning in which it was easy for me to see how this learning could apply to my daily life.
When using this tutorial in a classroom it will be harder for my students who do not have a computer to complete. Although we will be doing it all in the classroom they will not be familiarized with a computer and may become confused. The sound also may be a problem it would be hard to provide every student with headphones at some schools and all the noise may become too much of a distraction for students.
I didn't really have any problems with the program but I think that it would be more effective if it gave students quizzes at the end. This program asks the students to repeat what they just did not forcing them to store it away in their long term memories.
