How you use the Web in your studies depends on a number of things -- the subject, the assignment, and the teacher. Let's start with that last one: Make sure that you understand your teacher's policy on homework help, both in-person and online. Most teachers will appreciate a student who takes the effort to get a leg up, but there are definitely some circumstances when answering a question after an online search is inappropriate (a take-home test, for instance). So remember: Make sure your teacher approves of online research before you amaze him or her with your Net savvy. Once that's cleared up, the sky's the limit. The Homework Help category in Yahooligans! is a perfect place to start. Yahoo!'s K-12 Resources category also offers a number of helpful sites. Or, you can use a search engine or Internet navigation site to find resources that relate to your specific topic (e.g., geometry, civil war, and differential calculus). You can also enter in a more general request (e.g., homework help), as there are many sites that provide message boards or email responses to questions from students around the world. Once you've located online information relating to your homework, make sure you do your best to check it for accuracy. After all, just because something is online doesn't necessarily mean it's true.
