Internet Resources

How can you envision using a variety of Internet resources in your unit plan?Unit plan topic: Why is writing important? Ill admit my topic question seems very vague. The start of this topic in my blog seemed like i was going to have a really hard time finding anything relating to my unit topic question. Needless to say, i have found an emense amount of information as well as sources relating to why writing is important. Teachertube kindergarten students can watch videos that demonstrate the importance of writing. A first grade writing project that i found on teacher tube that i especially thought was a useful tool in learning the importance of writing was creating an original riddle.To emphasize on the importance of writing students can see actual students the same age as them completing the writing importance and seeing the various styles and formats of writing. For example students can watch a video of students writing short stories on a generated topic to studnets writing letters to a close friend or family member. Again cohesive blogging in the classroom can be a great way students can work together to add their thoughts to a class topic. A great place to create a blog is Blogger.com. Students can write their own thoughts in any format that they choose. Other search engines as Google or Yahoo can provide pictures and videos as well as information to research. As a future teacher i would suggest that monitoring such websites and Google or Yahoo because its not specifically geared to younger students.
