Web support pages for students

[Linda Hyman]

>> I'm about to write a web page, for students, giving some help/advice
>> on using the internet in their studies,

You didn't say what age the students were but please take a look at some of
the sites that have been developed at San Diego State University's
Department of Educational Technology:

"Doing the WebQuest" (http://edweb.sdsu.edu/edfirst/courses/)  which
contains numerous activities and links that can easily be adapted for
classroom and library use including:

1.  "The Web for Educators"
(http://edweb.sdsu.edu/edfirst/courses/web_for_ed.html) integrating
technology into the classroom
2.  "Surf, Stumble, Search and Lurch"
(http://edweb.sdsu.edu/courses/EDTEC572/search.html) searching activity
3.  "Filamentality" (http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/fil) allows students
to create hotlists, treasure hunts, electronic samplers, webquests)

For specific applications that students can do see these Pacific Bell
Education First sites:

1.   Searching for China (http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/China/index.html)
2. Eyes on Art http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/art/art.html
3. Donner Online http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/donner/index.html
4. Black History Past and Present
http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/BHM/AfroAm.html

Finally,  take a look at Kathy Schrock's Guide for Educators
http://www.capecod.net/schrockguide/eval.htm to help students evaluate the
materials that they find.  Can also be adapted for other information
resources to teach information literacy skills.
