**Reflections on Meeting This Standard: ** My biggest concern about bringing the internet in the classroom for projects and research is that the kids will just use the first website they find without analyzing it. I have introduced the website evaluation sheet to them, and we practiced using it with a couple websites that I selected to look at. This is preparing them for projects they must do on their own.

Goals for the Future: I plan to begin the next school year with a lesson on evaluating websites. That way, the students have an understanding of how to analyze websites they are collecting information from. Once they are comfortable with the form, the caliber of information located should improve.
