Internet Detective

I have never needed to cite research done on the internet. I had no idea how to do it. I did learn a lot doing the detective work. Well, I did not really "learn" how to do it. There was too much information to absorb so quickly. I saved the page about the Harvard vs Numeric methods as a favorite. I am sure I will use it lots as I begin to do actual research on the internet for my projects in this program. I really enjoyed the spoofs and parodies in the detective work. The incorporation of humor is always a great addition to our teaching methods.

Pam, after reading your comments about being an 'immigrant' to technology, I am realizing what a different perspective I have from being from a different generation and having used some of the tech tools that you've mentioned for research and other internet activites. Despite being new to the Wiki, Webpage, and Weblog world, you have great ideas of how to apply your knew understandings of these resources in your classes, and I think the idea of inventing personalities for weblogs and imaginary students is a great idea, and takes into consideration the protection of the children in today's society. Good luck with this new adventure!
