The internet can be great use for research but can also be very misleading depending on where the sources come from and what is being searched for. Sites like google scholar and online college libraries are great places to find tons of information on whatever is being researched but with the satisfaction of "school approved" articles. Yes the internet is great for research but not when it is being used illegaly. For example when kids do papers they tend to reasearch information and just copy and paste, they dont put their own thoughts and ideas into they just use somebody elses.
The internet is a great place to get extra help in classes. There are so many sites out their that have multiple ways of doing math or science. You can find youtube videos on almost anything now. I use the internet often to get help because i just do not understand what a teacher is lecturing about in math or because i am just horrible with history. The internet is good for more that just book reports and facebook, it is so much more!
I plan on teaching second grade which may be an issue with the way kids are being raised today. There will need to be locks on the internet that limit them to certain educational sites if there is internet at all. I do not plan to use internet unless I am in a computer lab doing something as a group.
