This is another technological tool that can be used in the classroom for research projects. Students are asked to do a major Science Project each year. For example, students are given an assignment to research a medical disease giving very specific information on orgin, cures/treatments, definition and who is likely to have the disease. Hyperlinks can be used to direct students to additional information concerning the disease. Students may want to include cites that house pictures, of the disease and direct students to medical or journal articles about the disease.

Another assignment may be the critiqunig of an article about a medical condition and use hyperlinks to refer to other articles or samples that are talked about in the article. Computer technology competency Goal 1 deals with the learner understanding important issues of technology based society and will exhibit ethical behavior in the use of computer and ohter technologies.

I will begin to use hyperlinks to enhance the research papers I personally write for my university classes.
