Taming the Internet

1. “Welcome to the 21st Century” Contrary to popular opinion, children of the 21st century are quite literate. Unfortunately, these children are not literate in the academics that most school systems deem important. All state education standards have been raised, and our students are being asked to reach higher and higher goals each year. We want literate, educated, and productive citizens. We want our children to become problem-solvers and independent thinkers, and in many respects they already are. Our children demonstrate a literacy that eludes many adults today, the literacy of the Internet, the language of the computer, and the knowledge of the information superhighway. Our students very often teach us how to create PowerPoints or how to find information on “Google.com”. Ask any student with whom you work how to find music on the Internet and you will be guaranteed an answer within 3 – 6 minutes, depending on your internet connection.
