Internet use in the elementary classroom

Part 1
I think the pros of using the internet in an elementary classroom are that the children get to experience the use a computer and figure out how to use it in the early years of their schooling. I also think it is a great tool for learning in general because there are so many different learning games and activities available for young students so why not use them.
As far as cons I think that some parents may not want their children using the internet at school because they may not think it will be monitored closely enough. Also it could allow the students to become off task and do something that they aren't supposed to be.

Part 2
The link above is one of my new favorite sites. It's one actually that some of us had to look at in class on Thursday. It's really cool in the fact that you can find a lesson activity for your students on any topic and it allows you to share your lessons with teachers and students from all over the world.
