Abstract

The pervasive nature of the Internet, both in society as well as America's schools, leads teacher educators to wonder how this dynamic tool is being utilized in the classroom, especially if it is benefiting students' understanding. This study analyzed 127 Web sites labeled as an excellent for teaching. From these data, a majority of educators view the Web either as a lesson planning tool or as a place to turn for additional information to teach a particular lesson. The majority of sites designed for use with students were passive in nature. This paper offers a qualitative data analysis concerning the attributes of the sites, as well as implications of the selected sites on K-12 teacher beliefs regarding student learning.
