**[|Five Questions for Planning Successful Web-Based Activities]**
1. **What is the curriculum related purpose of the activity?** The outcome or assessment should be aligned to your lesson objectives and standards. 2. **Does the Internet tool enhance the activity?** If the answer is no, find a more appropriate place to integrate the web. 3. **How will students use the online resources?** Once students locate information, they should be asked to apply, analyze, synthesize, evaluate, or create. The activity should require them to move to higher levels of Bloom's Taxonomy. 4. **Do students have necessary information analysis/information synthesis skills or am I including these in instruction?** The project should not become simply an exercise in locating information. Students must have the necessary background knowledge and pre-requisite skills to complete higher level tasks or these must be included in instruction prior to the web-based learning activity. 5. **Do I have the necessary time and support for the activity?** Double your original time estimate and always have access to technical support to resolve problems efficiently.
