RESPONSIBLE USE OF THE INTERNET IN EDUCATION


Evaluation, Citation, and Fair Use of Web Materials


Abstract. The Internet has been successfully used in commerce and in
personal communication. Educators are still experimenting on how to
efficiently use it to advance the processes of teaching, research, and
collaborative projects. This book examines the set of issues involved in
using the Internet in education. It contains instructional materials
used for the Tennessee Higher Education Commission sponsored workshops
for Chattanooga area teachers.  In this presentation, I would share with
you the motivations for writing the book and what I consider a
responsible use of the Internet in education.

USAGE: This book will be valuable to any one who uses the Internet for
communication, teaching or collaborative projects; especially parents
and teachers who help children use the Internet in learning. The book
can also be used as a supplement to courses in Educational Technology
courses offered in colleges of education, which relates to teaching
using the Internet.  It may also be used as a supplement to general
education courses in computer literacy where students are expected to
master the rudiments of effective use of the Internet.

The book contains information from teaching instructional guides on how
to use the Internet in the classroom. Thus the book naturally satisfies
the service needs of many K-12 teachers and school administrators.
College professors will find this book to be an important source of
reference on effective and responsible use of the Internet.
