This document discusses how to empower students to effectively conduct internet research. It begins by noting how communication and information access is rapidly changing online. It then provides tips for students to evaluate the relevancy, accuracy, reliability, bias and overall quality of internet sources. Examples are given of student projects from a 6th grade language arts class that demonstrate these skills. The document stresses the importance of copyright and fair use when using online content. It also discusses tools and websites that can help students create multimodal digital projects that incorporate internet research.

From teacher networked learning to transformation in your classroomVance Stevens
The Reform Symposium Conference is but one of a myriad of events taking place almost constantly now where teachers have opportunities for meeting in online spaces and sharing information and expertise with one another. The MOOC concept, whether xMOOC or cMOOC, provides steady often overlapping opportunities for deeper, more prolonged engagement not only with niche topics, but more importantly with others interested in those niches. Google Hangouts on Air now make it possible for anyone to simulcast an event, and many do, extending invitations to colleagues in a mushroom field of communities. It seems there is something of this nature going on every minute, and social media is working virally to spread the word among educators.
Stepping back to a wider perspective on this phenomenon, what is going on every minute is networked, connectivist learning. Open education, driven by learners connecting with other learners, is taking place around the clock, around the globe, in countless free spaces, bound only by the amount of time participants can make to engage and absorb the knowledge inherent in their networks. The possibilities this unleashes are only starting to be realized by the brick and mortar establishment. Not that we should quit our daytime jobs any time soon, but we should certainly rethink them.
This presentation will draw on present circumstances to inform how we might rethink our role as educators, or perhaps more importantly, encourage others to follow our example. The presenter has been involved in coordinating two virtual communities that have been interacting and learning from one another daily for the past decade. This presentation will show through representative examples how participants in these networks acquire the tools for re-thinking how they engage their students. Networked learning is ineffable in that it must be experienced to be understood, and those without that experience have difficulty grasping a full range of its affordances. As the behavior of participants in online networked learning changes, so their teaching styles change, and the better they are able to model for their students characteristics of what they find most effectively leads to their learning what they want to know in an increasingly interconnected world.

A lot of talk about the future of the internet sounds almost hippie-spiritual or faux-philosophical. The Internet is not the same as the world-wide-web. But the Internet-of-Things and the Semantic Web - all parts of Web 3.0, are beginning to be very important to our learning environments. Here is a summary of key features, ranging from access, creativity, and information architecture.

Learning2gether classroots weekly online professional development -
This session was one of several held this week at Al Ain Men's College (AAMC) as part of an in-house professional development week in April 2013. It was updated on Aug 25, 2013 for the annual MoodleMoot Virtual Conference MMVC13
Description of event:
Learning2gether is a wiki which, since September 2010, has served to organize teachers in meeting online at regular times weekly to conduct free “class-roots” professional development seminars and discuss topics of mutual interest to teachers of ESOL in particular and educators in general. Presenters and participants range from expert to those merely interested in the topics. Participants come from all over the world, but from its inception there has been an effort to involve teaching practitioners in Arab countries through coordination with the TESOL Arabia TAEDTECH-SIG. Sessions are recorded, and a growing archive of recorded resources is accumulating at the associated podcast site. This session will introduce teachers to the endeavor and invite them to become involved.

Fair use is any copying of copyrighted material done for a limited

parody. “Fair” uses do not require permission from the copyright
owner. Section 110(1) of the Copyright Act explicitly permits
teachers and students in a nonprofit educational institution to
perform or display any copyrighted work in the course of face-to-
face teaching activities. In face-to-face instruction, such teachers
and students may act out a play, read aloud a poem, display a
cartoon or a slide, or play a videotape so long as the copy of the
videotape was lawfully obtained. In essence, Section 110(1)
permits performance and display of any kind of copyrighted work,
and even a complete work, as a part of face-to-face instruction.

However…..
Posting something to the public web is legally considered to be
publication. If you post copyrighted material, such as an image, to
a website where anyone can view it, without specific permission,
you are infringing upon copyright. This includes material already
published on the web! (You may link to material already on the
web.)
Therefore, multi-modal projects need to be password-protected to
ensure they are only used for the classroom. Students need to be
made aware of the difference between creating a website for public
viewing and using Internet resources to create a class project.
