Teaching with the Internet

 

Before you decide to Use the wild and woolly "big, bad" Internet in your class, you must be clear on why you should use it. As language teachers we know from linguistic theory that you must actively engage students in language activity for any significant learning to take place.     In other words consider how students really learn. The Internet provides a great tool to use and opens the opportunity for learning.     The Internet's greatest asset is its interactivity. For real learning to take place the student must: Be curious and formulate a question Seek relevant information Evaluate the information they find This learning process demonstrates the great potential of utilizing the Internet. Our students at TCHS are very bright, but often get turned off to "regular" education; therefore, the WWW contains a wealth of interactive, learning opportunities for our students if properly guided. Best wishes in your journey!
