INFO-INFO-and more INFO

Now that my semester at school is over--and all that goes with it, I can devote my time to this fourth class. I did have time to explore three internet learning resource sites and found useful and interesting information in all of them. The first site dealt with web page creation. Since I am a novice user of Macromedia Dreamweaver, the tutorials included on this site dealing with this software will be of great use to me as time permits. My last instructor, John Sklar, called web page creation a lost art. I believe that if you have access to a server which supports your web page and use a good page layout, web pages are a great way to present information, lessons, etc in one easy to access site.
The second site dealt with how to check the validity of web sites. With the growing use of the internet as a source of information, knowing what to look for and what to beware of is extremely vital. Many internet users, including myself, take validity for granted. BIG MISTAKE!
And finally, the third site dealt with links to useful information for educators. By clicking on one of the links, more links were presented. One could spend hours exploring this site. What I did manage to explore gave me access to lesson plans I can add to my future lesson plan cart.
So again, onward I go to the discovery of new and exciting resources, ideas, and growth.
