Standards-Based Instruction

We've developed a few lessons as examples, with live links, that can provide you with a quick overview of how to use the Internet in the K-12 classroom. We've followed a standard template in designing these sample lessons.

• If you're new to the Web, you may want to explore the World Wide Web Workbook first.
• If you're new to educational technology, you may also wish to look at the Levels of Use of Technology to assess your and your colleagues' current levels of use.

For ease of use, we suggest that you explore each of the following sections in order.

I. Learn how to design, develop, implement, and evaluate an Internet-based lesson using a four-step instructional design process. These four steps comprise:

1. Creating Clear Learning Objectives

2. Designing a Lesson

3. Implementing a Lesson

4. Evaluating the Effectiveness of the Lesson

II. Explore some sample lessons that we developed to illustrate this process.

• Assessment
