Abstract
As information technologies become increasingly accessible resources for K-12 educators to use in their teaching activities, meaningful integration of these resources into learning activities becomes an important issue for pre-service and in-service teacher education. Teachers will need to confront the vast amount of information that the Internet hosts and develop the ability to harness this resource purposefully and productively in their classrooms. Once they acquire the initial set of skills that are required to navigate and consume Internet resources, they will need to attend to issues relating to effective means of using them with their students. This article discusses lesson plans created by teachers specifically to integrate Internet resources into learning activities. The lesson plans discussed here are an outcome of two funded projects described briefly in the article. A goal of both projects was to equip teachers to independently author customized materials that would address their individual teaching needs. These lessons are discussed from the perspective of the instructional strategy employed by the teacher, the stated educational intent and the creative use of readily available Internet resources in learning activities.
