Internet Use in Elementary

There are pros and cons for using the Internet in an early elementary classroom. The internet has tons of great resources for children to learn about all sorts of content. However, the Internet also has lots of information that is not accurate, current or appropriate. I feel that it is extremely important for teachers to really monitor what their students find on the Internet. I think early elementary teachers could use the Internet to find appropriate material for their students prior to class and bring it to class to present. As an early elementary educator I would use the Internet to find fun pictures and information about certain topics I was teaching. For example if I was teaching a unit on the ocean I would find great photos and videos of the ocean to add to my lesson. I believe that in early elementary the Internet can be used to enhance a lesson, but not to teach it entirely.
One of my favorite education websites that I have come across so far is abc teach. This website is for early elemenatry and it has everything! It is for students, parents and teachers. It has lesson plans, activities, materials, unit plans, and games.
