Classroom research used to consist of books and the card catalogue found in the school's library. However, the internet has made all of the difference in the past years. Now, most teachers and their students have access to the internet in their classroom. This has changed the way many assignments and research papers have been administered. Research has become the main purpose for children's use of the Internet. Some of the time, the library will not offer the exact topic you are interested in and even so, there is always a limited amount of information. The internet solves this problem. Although there is the overall concern on how accurate the information is, students can receive thousands of searches, providing them with plenty of options to work with.
Teachers themselves can also use the internet to enlighten or draw in the students. Just by using a PowerPoint presentation for a lesson will attract the students. The colored slides, cool fonts, and constant animations can draw the students attention to the screen and allow them to follow the information more clearly, without it being a distraction. Some teachers have gone as far as posting essays, debates, panel discussions, role play, videos, and websites on the internet soley for their class to use.
