Lesson-Instructional Strategies & Procedures for Teacher and Students
(Detailed Plans Including Best Practices, Researched Based Strategies)
Guided Lesson:
 What is Information Technology? How to use it in your academic life.

1. Comparing Sources of Information

Have you ever been frustrated trying to find something specific on the Internet? We all have used technology for fun but many of us stumble when we try to use technology as a practical tool.

Have you ever wondered what is the best way to pick the web site with the most useful information? Hint: It is usually not the first site that comes up.

2. Technology as a Tool

When you get an school assignment in high school or college how do you know which technology to use? Word Processing, Database, Spreadsheet, Graphic Organizer, Audio or Visual Recording, or online Collaboration Tools

3. Research Process

When it is time for you to buy your first car, where do you begin to search for information? When it is time to decide which college you would like to go to, how do you make the right choice? The Internet has millions of facts, how do you quickly find what you are looking for?

4. Safety and Ethical Issues

You have all heard of college students getting fined thousands of dollars for illegally copying music. Wouldn't you rather keep that money instead of losing it?

You have all heard of computers being infected with viruses. A few simple steps can protect you.
