Double Journal Entry #10:

Quote: For many students, the Web is primarily a place for browsing, clicking, and chatting.

In today’s society students, as well as educators, are not utilizing the web to its full potential. The web has so much more to offer a classroom than just merely looking up information. Why not have students publish their own information? Students today have the opportunity and technology available to publish their own thoughts and research for others to use. I feel that this is something all students should be engaged in. Not only are they learning through their own thought processes by exploring and understanding the information that they are publishing, but also they are taking pride in the work they do and becoming somewhat of an expert in their own eyes to the person or persons that may use their material.

In this video fifth grade students published their science experiment discoveries.
