Abstract

Internet is nowadays included to almost all National Curriculums of the elementary school. A comparative study of US’ UK’s and Greek, curriculums leads to the conclusion that a complete curriculum should also aim to student’s acquisition of the abilities to navigate and search for information and additionally to emphasize on ethical use of resources and information, specifically referring to Intellectual Property Rights laws and regulations. In a constructivistic knowledge framework instruction of these Internet characteristics has to take under consideration the conceptual representations of students. The following paper presents the conceptual representation of students of eleven years old, attending the Sixth Grade of Greek Elementary School about World Wide Web and proposes a course based on them, in order to introduce students to the ethical use of resources and information.
