Internet Options in the Classroom
Activities for the one computer classroom
Look for ways you can supplement your curriculum with Internet
resources. For example, my textbook talks about murals that are
popular in many communities in the U.S. It mentions the influence
of Rivera, Orozco, and Siquieros.
So I went to the Diego Rivera Museum,
http://diegorivera.com/index.php and downloaded a site with about
15 examples of Diego Rivera's work. Then I showed them to the
students with the TV monitors.
In the movie unit, I used the movie activity, "Movies in Madrid..."
(http://www.clta.net/lessons/index.html).
In the travel unit, (lakes, mountains, waterfalls, cathedrals,
jungles, taking pictures) I used "Fotos de la Argentina."

In the clothing unit, I used "La Tienda En Casa," an e-mail
order service from El Corte Inglés in Spain with descriptions,
sizes, and colors in Spanish and prices in pesetas. I used just
the "Especial Moda" section.
