Day 3

How to search the Internet effectively

In education, the Internet is as important to our students as books are. But knowing how to travel throughout the Internet is just as important as learning how to comprehend words in the book.

Teachers need to prepare for their classes to be able to search on the Internet. To allow students who might have some technology ability to just go out in search will be a futile and frustrating experience not only for the students, but the teacher also. Most students will spend their time searching around websites that are not productive .

Before students are asked to go to a computer lab to search for information lesson that teachers should prepare as a lesson, how to search on the Internet. Use Boolean, keywords, and quotation marks are important for successful searches. A lesson to prepare the students in this manner will help the teacher throughout the year and the students to be successful in any type of research through the Internet that they might have.

Day 2

Beyond technology beyond technology: the end of the job at the beginning of digital work.

In the new age of technology, computer literacy productivity in the workforce is going to change drastically. Workers will be using their computers at home more telecommuting than they ever have before. In light of this newo computer literacy there will have to be a new learning that goes on within the educational community for our workers of the 21st century and beyond.

Students will be told, not what to do but given the boundaries on how to do things with their own time and at their own pace and four results to be the more high-stakes than they have before.

New skills will have to be learned, older workers who have been on the job for years. Under the old ways of production will have to learn new ways to produce with the use of technology or lose their jobs to younger workers were not only younger and cheaper. Problem in the upcoming years as it has been in the past as we move away from traditional ways of production in to the use of more technology.
