As a first-year student enrolled in the Nunavut Teacher Education Program, one of the skills I am practicing is to research different topics from many perspectives. Research is a great way of acquiring all sorts of information on any given topic. The type of research I am conducting is on child growth and development. The reason I chose the topic is because I believe that any information is beneficial, especially if I want to teach in the future.
Children learn and respond quickly from the information they are given from their educators. Adult educators are to provide educational information that children can benefit from. Information that is appropriate to the child's age should always be taken into consideration. One great way of providing educational information is through the Internet.
The Internet world is full of endless possibilities.
Finding the right sites is not an easy task; however, there are tips that you can benefit from:
-Searching the net with a search engine (google, yahoo, askjeeves) using key words. For example: you are doing research on "cigarettes". The search engine will automatically come up with millions of sites, but not the exact information you are looking for. Using keywords such as "the disadvantages of smoking cigarettes" may give you the information you need.
-After reviewing a few sites, choosing the most appropriate, and up-to-date sites is your next step. Most sites include information about the author, date published, etc. Do a little bit of research about the author: who is he/she? what are his/her beliefs? what is his/her purpose in the information given?
-Creating your own blog with website addresses is a great way of preserving your resources. There are many blog sites to choose from: with and without cost. Choosing the right blog site depends on your requirements.
Here are a few blog sites you may choose from:
I am keeping a record of different sites that I have come across, and saving it to my blog. The upside is that I can always come back to my blog site and voila - the information is still there without the use of paper. I can also update my information in a few easy clicks. Here is a list of educational resources:
