The Internet is particularly well-suited for: Communication and collaboration Research Real-time data collection Web publishing

Communication and collaboration are particularly exciting for students using the Internet. Students can set up keypals (email pen pals) to connect with peers around the country and the globe. Students can correspond with experts in various fields via e-mail. E-mail activities are a good way to get started on the Internet, as they require minimal planning. However, be sure to contact your "experts" ahead of time to find out how long it will take them to respond.

Students can also communicate in real-time through online conferencing. For this, online chat rooms are popular with students and teachers. Audio and video conferencing using software such as DigiPhone (NetPhone) and CU-SeeMe create even more exciting educational opportunities. These software products are reviewed in CNET Reviews of Conferencing Programs. Be sure to plan ahead for online sessions, especially if you're working with schools in different time zones.

Collaborative projects go beyond simple communication. Students might work with expedition teams, solve problems by collecting or exchanging information, and create and respond to questions. (See Web Quests, below.)

The Web is great for research projects, as it enables students to gather detailed information that might otherwise be difficult to find. Keep in mind that searching the Web works best with upper level students, who can better evaluate the usefulness of their search results. Also, Web research is better for individual rather than group projects, and is easier if each student has access to a computer. With the Internet, students can engage in real-time data collection in ways that were once impossible. They can collect scientific data updated continuously by scientists at work, thereby using the same methods as researchers and scientists, analyzing the same data and sharing their conclusions either on- or off-line. Students can conduct research using large and geographically varied samples. They learn to analyze trends, correlations, and causality. When real-time data is used, students see the relationship between their studies and the real world.

Web publishing is the design and upkeep of Web pages. These days, many students know the basics of Web publishing. As a classroom project, however, Web publishing takes time and planning. Be sure that you're quite familiar with the Internet and the online tools required to create and maintain Web pages before you begin. Also, it helps to have access to multiple computers. Students are very enthusiastic about these projects, and they can be well worth the effort.
