The Use of the Internet in Computer Science Courses
by Doug Peterson
In this session, we'll discuss the rationale for having Computer and
Information
Science students use the Internet to address the curriculum. What can
Internet
activities contribute towards the study of Computer and Information
Science?
There are differing levels of sophistication for Internet use and
examples of
each will be shown along with related Web sites.
Commentary:
Doug described several categories of Internet content for use in
computer
science. He provided rationales for and examples of their use in
addition to
giving many links to the resources. His overall goal seems to be one
of moving
Internet usage from a relatively superficial to a more in-depth and
academically
useful activity. Some of the categories he included were
"stuff" (interesting
and useful but not particularly educational), programming contests,
Web quests,
and lists of resources. His discussion was friendly and informative.
The links
contained in his presentation should provide a significant resource to
computing
teachers.
