Teaching Students to Pull and Edit Valuable Information From the Internet

Teaching students to pull, edit and display valuable information from the internet in real time is probably the most important thing we can teach. We must develop a course of study which provides elementary level students with the tools and skills to do this. Use of RSS feed publishing, social bookmarking and use of visual tagging to set up automated online structures that pull valid sources of information and automatically display them in a useful way is the next step in “publishing.” Using the Internet to do “research” and a static display methodology such as Word or PowerPoint is no longer sufficient to prepare them for middle school.
