Computers are used by both teachers and students in a variety of ways. (Teachers using computers to prepare materials, find information rapidly on the Internet to be shared with students, or to arrange cooperative lessons with teachers in other locations. Students using commercially-purchased CDROM or network-based software, communicating via email with other students or native speakers, using common word processing or other software to complete projects, finding information on the Internet, accessing ESL or other sites on the Internet, or any one of a number of other activities and with the possibility that all or many of these activities can be done or are being done simultaneously) I'm a newcomer to the discussion having been informed of it only today and it is an extremely pertinent topic. I'm wondering why the need to "wrap up" the first segment so quickly! Thank you for letting me add my two cents...

I will be posting the second question shortly and look forward to continued discussion. Thanks, Liz __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
