2. Don't get frustrated
The ride isn't always smooth sailing, so try to keep your cool when things don't go as smoothly as planned.
3. Don't abandon pen and paper
I make my students keep a notebook handy when surfing the Net so they can take notes, jot down new vocabulary, and interesting and useful information.
4. Make it social; not antisocial
When working in the computer lab, I often pair students together or have them work in small groups. This makes the class more communicative, interactive, and fun.
5. Sometimes you've got to get your students away from the computer
Break into groups and discuss what students have learned and discovered from their Internet journey.
6. Don't be afraid to experiment
Remember: what doesn't work for one group may very well work for another.
7. Integrate the Internet into what you're teaching in class
If, for example, you teaching about food, have your students search the Web for recipes.
