   In some schools, it is not only the students who are using the web-based resources to support student learning, but also the staff are getting involved. They are researching the books that students are interested in so that they develop a love of reading. Though it is not always dependable, I like to use Wikipedia because its information is usually correct.

   I think using the Internet is a very useful tool in today's education. With the world's information at their fingertips, it would be smart to have the students access and use it in their everyday school time. It is not useful when you take into account that the quality of information is highly variable. It is useful though, because the most useful information can be copied directly from the internet into a word processor.
   In my WEPO class we researched various Internet-based resources for use in school work. I researched Wikipedia and found that it is a very dependable site and its information is reliable.
   The skills I acquired from Inspiration was how to find reliable sources and use them to aid in my teaching. I liked that it taught me how to incorporate information from outside sources into my lesson plan. This is the kind of information I will use in my future career as a teacher.
