SUMMARY OF THE WORK FROM THE RESOURCES What should learners learn from the list of resources gathered from the Internet.

There seems to be an undoubted notion that most educational institutions are adopting the use of information technologies in an attempt to provide the suitable and appropriate teaching and learning environment. This can be seen in universities, colleges and schools however schools normally face the constraint of availing the resources. The internet has become lately the easily accessible source of information worldwide. Providing resources on my website is of great importance and value to my learners. Further more, availing these resources is an attempt to raise awareness on issues of global warming that affect our society and the atmospheric environment. Most of the information is relevant as global warming is rapidly becoming a concern that needs to be addressed collectively. The learners will be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of processes involved in the cause and effects of global warming. Having these abilities will arm learners with skills to examine issues and concerns arising from global warming. Apparently learners will be better equipped if they are able to explain interactions between the humans and the environment with regard to activities that can be detrimental. These resources must also have a bearing on directing learners to investigate the consequences of global warming and therefore make reports on their findings at their level of understanding. Acquiring the knowledge and skills may not only address these concerns of global warming but help in application of the skills to find possible solutions of curbing the global warming phenomenon. Conclusively it is important that learners realise and recognise values and good attitudes towards the environment as members of society. Bringing this information to the attention of the learner will assist them to have respect and appreciation of the natural environment.
