If you are putting together a lesson unit on the Civil War, what are some ways you might use the Internet in the activity?
What will be an ideal response?
Couched within the Civil War content area, strategies might be (a) to help students navigate and integrate knowledge (for example, databases that students can explore at their own paces), (b) to foster collaborative learning (for example, project-centered activities for small groups-teamwork is necessary to allow students to adequately capture the array of information on the Internet), (c) to allow e-mail (for example, students can communicate with and consult a larger and more varied number of people when completing an assignment), and (d) to improve the teacher's knowledge and understanding (for example, teachers can consult instructional databases like ERIC).

Ralph has just taken two achievement tests. He scored at the 90th percentile on the Ohio Reading Test (ORT). He scored at the 50th percentile on the California Mathematics Inventory (CMI). Can we conclude that Ralph has higher achievement in reading than in mathematics?
a. Yes, because a percentile score of 90 is well above average, whereas a percentile score of 50 is only average. b. Yes, provided that both tests have been shown to have content validity for the curriculum at Ralph's school. c. No, because the two percentile scores are both essentially "average" scores. d. No, because the norm groups for the two tests are probably different.
