Teacher and Technology
The Internet provides teachers with free (or low cost) materials they need We teachers have always been a resourceful bunch. We befriend our local travel agents for posters, brochures, any source to liven up our classrooms. When you are able to connect to the Internet, a world of free or inexpensive materials can be either downloaded or sent for. NASA is one well-spring of online educational resources, the PBS and theDiscovery Channel have a host of free activities that complement their video programming...even the CIA shares mountains of information you paid them to collect on every country. Some people (mistakenly) believe that this is the only reason for using the Internet-getting things. The reality is far richer.
