Abstract
The Internet makes it possible for teachers and students to get access to a wealth of information that they have never been exposed to. However, the overwhelming amount of information available challenges teachers and students as well. According to Jonassen (2003), information does not equal knowledge and it will not be transformed into knowledge unless it is integrated into meaningful, reflective, active learning activities Database Management Systems (DBMSs) are software programs for electronic storage, retrieval and management of data. They support students' learning by allowing students to organize, classify, analyze, and make sense of information through meaningful and authentic learning activities. As a result, students can develop their critical thinking. This presentation will present practical classroom applications of teaching with databases as cognitive tool and related research on the effects of students' learning with databases. It will also demonstrate how to teach by integrating DBMSs with the Internet database resources and suggest effective instructional strategies.
