Students use websites and computer programs with specific tasks set by the teacher, and with outcomes and accountability understood by the students
- With a tutor or a peer helper to encourage and guide
- With instruction from the teacher, then on their own
Examples: specific grammar or vocabulary work; home language information about a class topic; readings with audio, like "Just Grandma and Me" and "Arthur's Teacher Trouble"
Teacher or assistant will find sites and programs that fit the curriculum and weave those into class tasksExamples: Students create their own websites to share; students work with keypals on projects; students create exercises for other students to work on; teachers use extra information, including sound and video clips, from web pages or CD-ROMs
Set of tasks performed over time to meet a curricular goal, either for individuals or for groups of students - a syllabus is keyExamples: word-processing and keypals for writing; grammar programs like Focus on Grammar; vocabulary programs; speed reading and other reading programs
