The
Changing Face Of Education: Computer Enhanced Instruction And The English
Student
The face of education is changing rapidly as a direct result of innovative computer
technology. Gone are the days of studying repetitive grammar exercises from an old copy of
"A First Aid In English," while chalk dust floats on the air. The students of today are
more likely to find themselves
in front of a computer screen rather than a blackboard. As the tools of education change, so too
does the nature of learning and the acquisition of knowledge.

of online teaching and learning
The purpose of this guide is to prepare you and your students for cross-classroom
tele-collaboration in "Learning Circles." Learning Circles promote
theme-based project work integrated with the classroom curriculum. Working

Methods
There are three main forms of teaching: tutorials, lectures and classes.

tutorial by preparing yourself carefully: do th e prescribed reading thoughtfully, and take care
writing the essay...

Team Teaching
Although in many if not most schools the most common organizational
pattern is based upon teacher isolation and self-containment, there is
a very strong tendency in recent literature to favor teacher collaboration
and collegiality.
