Reading and Thinking

This chapter explains the topic that most teachers placed there head on their chins about.  While preparing a lesson it is crucial for a teacher to know what technological information they are advising their students to use on writing samples, guides for writing, and explaining the concepts of information shared or taught in class.  Pulling out information from just any source could be quite dangerous.  I have found a sight that I have completed a prior evaluation on, and I felt that it was easy to use and very informal.  I didn't have a large amoutn of time to view the site, but from what I have seen it is useful, especially to a college freshman.  This particular site does not include videos.  I had to go on YouTube and get one.

Concerns;
My concern is that the students will not fully comprehend the material on the various sites alone without guidance.  Some students, especially freshmen need a guide to fully understand the material.
I am also concerned about access.  How much of it will be available without payment?

Questions;
*How do I ensure that my students are getting the most important information from the material ?
*What happens when the site is no longer available and I have assigned work using the site?
*What if the site is not supported by the University?
*What do I do as an instructor if there are no videos?
