With sections on using the Web to plan and structure courses, conduct research, and publish student work, as well as a reference essay that reviews Web sites for educators and students, this book reveals the rich variety of ways in which this technology can be used by English and language arts teachers at all levels. The 20 essays in the book explore a broad range of topics, including how the Web increases students' ownership of their learning and promotes empowerment; how technology affects the messages people send and receive; how the Web facilitates communication; and how the Web helps students focus on the concept of audience.
