THE USE OF INTERNETIn education

FOUR BASIC FUNCTIONS OF THE INTERNETGrey (1999) has identified four ways in which the internet can function as an educational tool in the classroom and these four ways are also applicable in ESL/EFL classrooms.

FOUR BASIC FUNCTIONS OF THE INTERNETSearch for and receivePublish and provideTalk to and replyCollaborate and learn

FOUR BASIC FUNCTIONS OF THE INTERNETSearch for and receiveComprises activities that are based on using the internet as a huge virtual library.In these activities students search for and retrieve information from this library.

FOUR BASIC FUNCTIONS OF THE INTERNETPublish and provideThese activities involve not the retrieval, but the publication of information. This publishing is done on web pages, which are the basic places where information is stored on the internet.

FOUR BASIC FUNCTIONS OF THE INTERNETTalk to and replyThese are conversational activities that take place via the internet through email correspondence and in chat rooms.This category could also include internet phone conversations.

FOUR BASIC FUNCTIONS OF THE INTERNETCollaborate and learnThis category includes joint projects that involve students in two or more classrooms that might be thousands of miles apart.This fourth way of integrating the internet usually involves one or more of the other three ways.
