Classroom and Online Projects
Classrooms are now able to utilize the Internet in new ways, with students able to research, download programs, use project guides from online, and more. Teachers are able to use this technology as well. Instead of assigning a print resource when doing a project, teachers can direct students to online resources for the same information. This helps the student to integrate the Internet into their experience. Below are resources on classroom projects and online projects for students and teachers.
