Students in my 5th grade computer class have difficulties in using the Internet as an effective research tool for gathering and evaluating information. As stated in the TN Curriculum Frameworks for technology, the students will use technology as a tool to conduct and evaluate research and to communicate effectively information and ideas. Learning expectations for the students include the following: the student uses a variety of computer technologies to access, to analyze, to interpret, to synthesize, to apply, and to communicate information in a Multimedia presentation. As the Profiler survey indicates, this unit will provide opportunities for students to use the Internet and other computer applications to conduct, evaluate, and organize research on world countries. They will then use this information to create a multimedia slide show, using KidPix, to demonstrate their findings.
