Abstract

Practitioners create remarkable models of teaching and learning. This is particularly apparent when technology is involved, for the sheer richness of available resources demands the attention of the entire profession of teachers to discover, adapt, and employ effective resources. This analysis reviews practitioner and commercial methods and strategies, particularly online sites, which have been reported by teachers as being useful for general instruction, specific content areas, and adaptive settings. Special consideration is also given to methods and strategies that can be used by preservice or novice teachers to assemble sets of resources to use in teaching and in documenting a rationale for site selection contained in the research literature. Finally, the authors focus the attention of content area educators on the urgent need for teaching reading comprehension strategies as part of their content information delivery systems and providing access to technology-based resources currently available for scaffolding this process.
