I was extremely interested in integration strategies for web-based activities. From reading I've found that web-based projects and activities can open numerous doors for learning in the classroom.
Support for student research-Websites and web-based resources are a great way to help students find information for research and presentations. Using web-based resources is wonderful tool for students to use when they are interested in acquiring new information about a topic or project.
Motivation for writing-Web-based activities are also motivation for writing. Things such as email and videoconferencing are great for motivating students to do their best writing. Students are prone to becoming more excited when they have to type versus using the traditional paper and pencil.
Practicing for information literacy skills-Finding information on the internet plays a huge role in classroom learning. Learning how to use web resources is a great opportunity for students to learn to use the web properly.
Visual learning problems and solutions-Visual learning helps students understand problems and find solutions. I can see my students benefiting tremendously from visual learning. They seem to really enjoy imaging and animations, using them keeps the students more engaged.
Development of collaboration skills-Web-based projects are also a great opportunity for students to collaborate on projects such as making a brochure or designing a web page.
Multicultural experiences-Web-based projects allow students to get insight on other cultures and gain perspective on other places in the world. Doing a web-based activity such as a virtual fieldtrip would allow students to explore a place they might not have the opportunity to visit.
