All of the these reources are great, but what's most important is determining which resource holds the most value. Because there are a plethora of internet resources that are helpful, which site holds the most value to a student or teacher. Which of the thousands of sites have the best lesson plans that will meet the needs of all learners in a classroom? Which site provides that best factual information to complete a research paper? Internet resources in education is by far valuable and an asset to the eductional process, but narrowing down the search to resources that hold the GOLDEN information, site friendly usage, and meeting the needs of the user. The most valuable part of internet resources is to ensure that students can explore and navigate the large range of information to discover important facts, principles, and concepts, in doing research. The best value for teachers is to find great resources that provide lesson plans, experiments, interactive lessons that will be beneficial to various cognitive styles and learning behaviors.
