Upon successful completion of this module, students should be able to:

There are numerous alternatives for creating resource data bases. Using a typical data base computer program such as dBase, Quattro Pro, etc. immediately come to mind. And these are certainly good options. However, for this course, you are asked to use Internet resources for the content of the data base and the Internet itself as the data base delivery system via the addition of the data base to a "professional" home page. At this point, you are familiar with the technical process of adding "links" to a web page, so the process should be rather easy. The challenge will be to find the most appropriate links for your particular curriculum interests and needs. This web site contains four bibliography pages which will give you a start on gathering the appropriate links. This is only a start. The web has vast resources. Your challenge - find them!
A resource data base is only as valuable as the information you include in it. Also, since change is a fundamental aspect of the world around us, the value of the data base will be contingent on frequent updates and revisions.

This section of the data base should contain Internet links of particular value to you in the design and delivery of your curriculum. Begin with a review of the resources listed on this web site's bibliography, and then explore the Internet for additional resources.

This section of the data base should contain Internet links of particular value to your students. If you plan to integrate the Internet into your curriculum, these links will be used by your students to complete assignments. Begin with a review of the resources listed on this web site's bibliography, and then explore the Internet for additional resources.

This section of the data base should contain Internet links of particular software products you could use in your instruction. Remember, software includes everything from audio tapes to video tapes. It is not limited to "computer" software per se. In most cases the actual "link" will be to the vendor who created, markets, or distributes the actual software. You should include a comment about the product in terms of it's content, how/when it could be used in your curriculum. Again, begin with a review of the resources listed on this web site's bibliography, and then explore the Internet for additional resources.

This section of the data base should contain Internet links of particular hardware resources you may use in your classroom. And remember, hardware is not limited to only computer hardware. Include things like overhead projectors, tv, radio, and other equipment you use in the delivery of instruction, as well as computer equipment. The bibliography on this web site will give you a good start, but you will have to find most of your links out on the net.
