Economics on the Internet: Electronic Mail in the Classroom.
Manning, Linda M.
Journal of Economic Education, v27 n3 p201-04 Sum 1996
Explores the benefits and drawbacks of using electronic mail in the classroom. Benefits include improving teacher-student relations, communicating thorough discussion lists, and augmenting information dissemination. The false sense of anonymity, however, encourages students to send abusive messages. Privacy issues and tampered messages are other concerns. (MJP)
