Question:
I am currently teaching an "Introduction to the Internet" adult education class on Monday nights. I was hoping to find another adult education class with which to engage in an online chat and/or email exchange. I thought it would be good practice and fun. (It doesn't matter whether the collaborating class is a computer class or not, ESL, etc. would be fine.)
What's your opinion???
Answer:
I teach three Internet Courses. None of them are about the Internet, though. I am at DePaul University's School for New Learning and our students are "adult" students too. I'd like to see this subject explored.
I used to think that I'd use the technology only when it enhanced learning, but I'm beginning to think now that access can be a strong motivator for the technology as well. And it may also be a justice issue. It's good to find something here that's about learning and not about making more money using your computer.
