			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of our inservice days this year was dedicated to technology. In one session we learned about netTrekker, a subscription search tool for schools. It seems to be worth the money we paid to subscribe. I want our students to know how to use it, so I came up with <a href="http://www.mshogue.com/ce9/intro_internet/main.htm" target="_blank">a lesson</a> to teach them about netTrekker.</p>
<p>But, of course, it&#8217;s so much more than that. I revised <a href="http://www.mshogue.com/ce9/Gen_Assign/int_internet.htm" target="_blank">an old assignment</a>, something I had been using since 2001, called Intro to the Internet. It relied on <a href="http://www.tnellen.com/cybereng/01.html" target="_blank">Ted Nellen&#8217;s assignment</a> as a starting point. The new lesson has some of the same objectives as the old, but the new one is more relevant and, I think, a better springboard to 9th grade CyberEnglish.</p>
<p>One thing missing from the new lesson? True collaborative writing, which we could do at Google docs IF we were permitted. Everything in its own time, though, right?</p>
<p>Oh, and there&#8217;s <a href="http://wordle.net/gallery/wrdl/146992/Introduction_to_the_Internet_Wordle" target="_blank">a cool wordle</a> in this lesson, too. I love that tool.</p>
