Abstract
A discussion of the potential and reality, both positive and negative, regarding the use of the Internet and the World Wide Web in the modern classroom. The author defines the Internet, and evaluates its place in the field of Education and instructional technology, as well as how it is affecting society in general. The paper discusses the responsibility of the teacher to understand the Internet, its value in the classroom, and how to incorporate in daily lessons. Includes detailed arguments for and against the use of the Web in the education system, providing many examples for each case.
From the Paper
"The human need for current information and knowledge continues to grow as each year passes, and is presently as high as it has ever been. At the center of this basic need is the Internet, ?a system of linked computer networks, worldwide in scope, that facilitate the transfer of data? (Hackbrath 192), and the World Wide Web, ?a system of Internet servers that support specially formatted documents containing text, graphic, audio, video, and other types of files? (Hackbrath 192). The Internet and the Web have already changed the way modern society lives and functions, and will continue to do so as they evolve further."

Abstract
With technology becoming an important part of our daily lives, it is only natural that it would also affect our instruction strategies in schools. It has been noticed that, while use of the Internet is often hailed as an effective teaching aid, its use in the classrooms at the K-12 level raises many questions that have significantly limited its growth in schools. This paper shows that, while the Internet is a great teaching tool, many educators are worried about its use in classrooms because they feel that at the K-12 level, students might misuse this research aid. Instead of using it for research purposes, they might use it for non-educational purposes that can adversely affect student?s performance. For this reason, some schools are implementing filters and censorship method to control Internet usage in classrooms. The paper shows that if this one aspect of Internet usage can be effectively controlled, then the Internet is definitely a perfect tool for instruction in K-12 schools.
From the Paper
"But despite these minor problems, Internet can be effectively used for providing a more in-depth learning experience and it has a very positive impact on learning process. With the help of this technology, students at K-12 level can easily research the topic they are discussing in class, which opens new doors of inquiry. With access to material that is not exactly coming out of a prescribed textbook, students can gain deeper knowledge of the subject. However Internet must be used as an instruction aid after careful consideration of the benefits that can be expected from its usage in K-12 classrooms. Educators are familiar with student learning process and therefore Internet should be used in a way that can facilitate or accelerate this process."

The Digital Divide in America's Schools, 2004.
An analysis of the impact of the advent of the computer and Internet on the classroom.

Abstract
This paper examines how, although Internet and computer technology are greatly beneficial to the educational status of students, they are also unfair tools that give only the economically comfortable students an opportunity to better themselves. It discusses how the development of a digital divide, defined by Kevin Taglang as the gap between those who have access to computers and the Internet, and those who do not, increases the gap between the educational opportunities offered to white, English-speaking and economically comfortable Americans and non-English-speaking, non-white, and poor Americans.
From the Paper
"The introduction of computer and internet technology into almost all American classrooms does not solve the digital divide problem as the economic factor prevents such a solution. To benefit fully from computer and internet technology for education, it is important that students have continuous access to this tool. As discussed by Minkel, students should have access to such technology from their homes, so they can benefit from the Internet as a research guide and helper in homework. However, the home owning of computers is so mainly limited for the economically comfortable White Americans and is excluding for the minority ethnic and racial groups."

Abstract
This paper explains that rapid developments in multimedia and telecommunications technologies along with an increasing awareness among educators as to the need for developing educational standards for student performance have led to a new set of prospects for the role of educational technology. The author points out that the Internet has become an important means of accessing information; the world of library knowledge is at the users' fingertips entailing great advantage to the users, and colleges are exploiting the Internet to make parents aware of the performance of the children and to enhance the accessibility of the students to a varied type of textbooks, advanced courses and test preparations. The paper states that computer-based instructions personalize the instruction process, provide instant response to the needs of the students and elucidates the correct answer; contrary to the traditional human lecturer, the computer is infinitely patient and non-lenient, providing impetus to the students for continuance.
From the Paper
"It is widely accepted by the parents and educators that technology is an integral part of the educational process in order to enable them successful in the 21st Century. The educational institutions all over the country are engaged in the implementation of technology plans and are making investments in computing resources like internet and other educational software's. Almost every college is networked and made favorable for the Internet ranging from the rural areas to the suburbs and cities and provides a computer having Internet access to every five students. Presently, more and more children in schools utilize computers than they do at home. (Today's students are more wired than ever) The traditional educational delivery system mostly prevalent in the classrooms has a number of limitations. In the system there is no scope for the professors to encourage the students to become active, do not cater to the communication needs for complex concepts, fail to persuade critical thinking and may not be adjustable to the requirements of the students. The applications of the techniques involved in the information technology in the classroom are considered to be a great solution for the problems associated with lectures."

From the Paper
"The textbook, "Building Classroom Discipline", by C. M. Charles, provides an overview and discussion of eight models of discipline most prominently favored for use in elementary and secondary classrooms today. This paper selects three of those models (Cantor, Jones, and Glasser) for a comparison and contrast of three aspects of discipline (rules, consequences, and positive reinforcement) and concludes with a summary of the positive and negative elements of these models with suggestions for selecting a personal classroom management plan.
The first aspect of effective discipline is rules. All the models put forth that rules are essential to an orderly classroom and that students of all ages must know what the rules are from the first day of the class meeting. Lee Cantor's method, also called assertive discipline, simply states that the teacher ... "

"This includes grasping firm knowledge and understanding of the role technology plays not only in education, but also in every day living. Teachers are becoming increasingly aware of the implications technology has on student's achievement but also their teaching and curriculum development. More and more educational facilities are encouraging teachers to participate in elective and continuing education classes that highlight technology and promote emphasis on technological learning in the classroom. Teachers are more and more learning that technology can be an efficient tool for designing unique and individual curriculums that attend to the need of individual students but also enable more efficient monitoring, assessment and evaluation of student achievement in the classroom and outside the classroom (Ernst, Peterson & Taylor, 2005).

Classroom Management, 2005.
Examines the process involved in managing a classroom, especially within an urban setting.
2,065 words (approx. 8.3 pages), 15 sources, APA, $ 65.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Classroom management in the current urban teaching environment must be balanced against external factors such as standardized testing and school accountability measures, as well as against factors studied in class such as social fragmentation and silencing. The classroom management process itself usually takes place in stages in which the student is taught and assessed in their ability to perform specific tasks or display their knowledge of specific subjects, so assessment is also a vital part of urban classroom management. The classroom management process is based on a combination of these external and internal factors. This paper examines the classroom management process in the way in which it progresses through various steps, based on standards that set the bar for student progress and development in urban schools. The essential steps that are a part of the classroom management process, from this perspective, are based on the urban school being either equal to or greater than the national average in producing curricula that are able to meet these standards in terms of
results. The paper examines this issue generally, as well as specifically in terms of certain expectations that are required in the disciplines for students at certain grade levels, which in turn directly affects the classroom management process in urban schools. In each of these steps, as this paper states, the role of the instructional leader is more and more about working with great facility and leadership skills on an effective team, respecting diversity and being able to implement new technologies into the urban classroom. This team develops communication patterns that integrate the curricular needs of all involved parties, including teachers, parents, students and administrators, and at each step of the process this communication is integral to developing a complete classroom management plan.
From the Paper
"The results of Alvine's study therefore focus on putting technology in the forefront of the consciousness of those individuals who will be
teachers. Alvine's students continued to support the presence of television and other media options in the classroom from the standpoint that these media would be controlled by student choices and also be the focus of discussion and communication rather than the sole classroom activity. "First, they cited the importance of maintaining schools as human communities, as places where human beings interact face to face. Second, they pointed to the value of offering students choices in what media they use to access and share information" (Alvine, 2000, p. 3). Alvine's subjects also reported that close attention would need to be paid to choice in the content of the material supplied through technology in the classroom."

From the Paper
"Evertson, Emmer, and Worsham (2003) state that the logical place for a teacher to begin his or her classroom management procedures is in arranging the classroom as it occurs prior to the beginning of the school year. Reflective teachers will arrive at the school several days before their contract calls them to so that they can assess the space to plan for the best arrangement, begin to hang posters and other personal effects, and decorate bulletin boards (Eby, Herrel, & Hicks, 2002). They go on to say that the classroom appearance makes a statement to the students and others about how much the teacher cares for the environment in which the class will learn. Whether the room is tidy or neat, colorful or drab, or filled with extra items to make it livelier will set a tone."

Abstract
This paper explains the position that the Internet is on the brink of playing a role in sustaining inquiry-based mathematical classrooms, as well as to caution educators away from guidelines that have been established as unprofitable. The paper begins by unfolding wide themes that have surfaced from the work in relation to mathematical educational employment of the Internet, and then inspects how these themes occupy themselves in a particular classroom. The paper ends with the consideration of how scientific developments in education should introduce high-quality, skilled teachers, who are prepared to make use of these novel technologies to encourage student learning.
From the Paper
"Educational philosophy has developed all through the last decade of research. This research has made analysts believe that the Internet will not give an easy way to enhanced education; the analysts have come to consider that people-to-people relations and particularly face-to-face contact play a vital responsibility in education. Alternatively, a number of analysts have turned out to be even more overwhelmed by the influence of the technology and remain persuaded that this authority will eventually be controlled for the development of education. Whilst technology develops rapidly, on the other hand, the human aptitude to recognize, formulate, as well as integrate these changes develops gradually. Access to remote resources-- peers, images, experts, texts, teachers, as well as data--is quickly turning out to be a commonplace, nevertheless, the consideration of how to make superior utilization of these capitals is barely gradually emerging. The time necessary for the growth, modification, and acceptance of suitable novel pedagogies might be a decade or more (Bruce & Rubin, 1993)."

From the Paper
"The responsive classroom approach is one that has recently received attention nationwide in American schools. The approach deals with the social patterns of students in school. In recent years there has been attention given to school problems, including bullies, schools shootings and self esteem. With the more recent problems that have garnered national attention, school systems have turned to experts to determine how best to create a warm and welcoming school climate. Social skills may not fall under the four R's but if educators do not address the problem the repercussions could be tragic."

Abstract
This paper discusses the themes and ideas in the book, ?Life in Classrooms? by the highly acclaimed psychologist and educator Philip W. Jackson. It shows how although Jackson published this scholarly work in 1968, more than 30 years later, it is still quite relevant to our present-day classroom life and structure. It attempts to explain why Jackson considered life in a classroom quite unnatural and thus unfavorable for the proper psychological and intellectual development of a child.
From the Paper
"Keeping this in view, we realize that recent incidents of school violence may be subtly connected with this negative aspect of life in classrooms. When a child fails to make his presence felt, he resorts to violent and destructive tactics, which suddenly throw him in the spotlight. We can draw another extremely important conclusion from this group and crowd element. What schools mostly fail to understand is the fact that group operations are not always as smooth to adapt to as it appears on the surface."

Abstract
This paper presents a discussion on the ineffectiveness of classroom computers. Billions of dollars are being spent each year nationwide on computers in the classroom and our national test scores are still declining. As long as the machines serve as dust collectors in the back of the classroom, we need to divert what we are spending to better uses. Lack of training, fast paced advances, and teacher apathy are all discussed.

"The need for better instruction regarding how to effectively manage a classroom is evidenced in a majority of the literature available (Biggs, Hinson & Long, 1999; Placek & Dodds, 1988; Dembo & Gibson, 1985). Whether an education major or an experienced teacher, individuals are still attempting to identify the factors they believe to influence classroom management. Many are still struggling to define a successfully managed classroom, while others are working to identify factors that contribute to successful classroom management (Biggs, Hinson & Long, 1999). Surveys of teacher's beliefs about classroom management suggest that numerous factors may play into classroom management and the ability of teachers to manage classrooms effectively."
