Planning gives instructors confidence, guides content coverage, and helps make good use of class time
Time Frames of Teacher Planning: set instructional goals, plan activities, set priorities, and make time estimates
Be flexible with planning and make adjustments as needed

Instructional Taxonomies: Cognitive Domain, Affective Domain, and Psychomotor Domain
Direct Instruction: high teacher direction and control, high teacher expectations, maximization of time on academic tasks
Orienting/Lecturing: establish a framework, explain and demonstrate new material using advance organizers

The Internet: worldwide network connecting thousands of computer networks, providing access to an array of information
World Wide Web: hypermedia information retrieval system linking various Internet materials
Website: individual's location on the Internet
E-mail: electronic mail

National Education Technology Plan
ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education) Standards for technology in education: Students, Teachers, and Administrators
