For a fifth or sixth grade class, have the students work in small groups and go to a local park, museum, or even around a school, and have them create a website with pictures for that particular place to be used as an online brochure. The students will need to go to the actual place and take their own pictures using a digital camera and transfer them to their website.
For a social studies lesson, let students pick a topic to cover that they find most interesting. For example WWII, and have them create their own powerpoint with pictures they find on the internet and discuss it with the class. They will learn how to make a powerpoint and be able to experience teaching at the same time. This would be a lesson for 3-6 grade.
To teach younger students how to use the internet and follow directions, give them a sheet of directions to follow for different site to find. Have them go to helpful sites that they will use such as Google, Wikipedia, etc. Allow students to explore and use these tools for future learning. Grades K-2.
