I asked the students at our next meeting: What is the Internet? I first provided them with a handout - clip art icons included - that went through some primary functions of the Internet. Younger students think about the Internet in terms of what they can DO with it, or what they can find there. So, simply put - almost embarassingly so - I defined the Internet for these nine and ten year olds as “People talking…A place to read and learn…A way to write and share your ideas…A place to play.” The icons were particularly helpful to bring the ESL students in the group along with us. To start the project, I asked them what the Internet was, and most discussion centered on games and entertainment, although some students started talking about the Internet as a way to find real estate. After discussion, I gave students a stack of reclyced PC Magazines and asked them to collage the question, What is the Internet. Here are their collages.
