Internet in the Classroom

Visuals are an important and vital aspect of use inside a classroom – many students are reliant on the internet and visuals to understand, so using the internet is a great way to add to your classroom to make students more engaged and interested in their learning.  I personally love to bring in vines, videos, and other internet aspects into my classroom because it creates a connection that the students are already engaged and find valuable, and more important than the teacher.  Another strategy when reading is to have students highlight using various colors difference aspects of their reading, for example, main idea and connected ideas get one color, while, setting gets another.  I would like the internet to be able to support the learning from the classroom and to give them students other aspects of the story or learning they may not have received.  I would like to incorporate more internet aspects within my classroom, maybe have the students create and share via the internet.
