IE, MF and GC - The Alphabet of Internet Browsers in Education - (28-01-2010)

Author:  Vanessa Cassie






I've been spending a fair bit of time discussing internet browsers over the past few weeks. I've been pitching Mozilla Firefox to many teachers at workshops, mainly because I like some of the add-ons that it has to offer.

But all this talking about browsers got me wondering -- what do most people use? Why? A quick Google search came up with a list of top internet browsers, but the three that I run into most in education (minus our Mac users) are Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and Google Chrome.



My psychic powers tell me that Internet Explorer going to meet the same fate as Netscape Navigator. Which means that I must convince schools to soon pledge allegiance to either Firefox or Chrome...

What does your school division use primarily? Any particular reason(s) why?

A classroom educator for 10 years, I’m now thrilled to be working full time training teachers and helping them integrate technology into their classrooms.

Originally from Calgary, I’m thrilled to be living and working in British Columbia and starting to get to know the fabulous educators in my new province.

I fully confess that I am a tech-geek, and thus always brought technology into the classroom with my students. As soon as I got my hands on my first SMART product – I was a convert – and never taught without one again! I was fortunate to be part of several technical trials with SMART – including the SMART Table, which I enjoyed using primarily with my Grade One students.

I spent some time as an Education Technology Consultant and developed my passion for bringing technology into the hands of kids & helping teachers to maximize the tech tools within their schools.

I also love sports, movies and am a classically trained singer.
