Hi,
This is Melissa again. Thanks for all your responses to my last message.

Andrew views the Web as a resource of information. I think the Web is also
a means by which learning and teaching can occur. Access to Internet is not
the whole thing, but it involves a wide range of learnings (e.g.critical
learning and cooperative learning) and helps develop creativity and
problem-solving ability.

I have surfed some of the URLs provided by you. I am deeply impressed by
those school projects and by those so competitive school kids. They are so
amazing.

As a future educational administrator or school principal, I am quite
concerned about a problem: how can Internet become an effective and easily
accessible teaching tool in every classroom?

I have taken two classes of educational technology. All those projects of
these classes are so time-consuming and skills-required. Kids are different
in the learning ability, learning preferences, computer knowledge and
skills. Can Internet benefit all the kids? Can all the kid be capable of
accomplishing the assignments or projects? It is the last thing I want to
see that quite a number of the students in one classroom fall behind and
hereby become discouraged and begin to doubt their own learning ability and
intelligence.

How to apply this teaching tool to the school curriculum is a problem we
have to think about.

Melissa Liu
