Why do Internet-based project work? • It’s a structured way for teachers to incorporate the Internet into the language classroom. • Cooperative learning and interaction are encouraged. • Interdisciplinary purposes allow for cross-over into other departments and subject areas. • Critical thinking is encouraged.

Buddy List: This is a list that you have the option of keeping on your Internet Service Provider. It can contain screen names of your friends and family that you like to “talk” with through instant messaging or e-mailing. • Byte: It usually takes 8 or 10 bits to make a byte, so a byte is bigger than a bit!
What is a WebQuest? • It’s a mini-project in which a large percentage of the input and material is supplied from the Internet. • It differs from projects or simulations in their fairly rigid structure.
Types of WebQuest: • Short-term WebQuest: Lasts a couple of classes. • Longer-term WebQuest: Might last a few weeks, a term or even a semester. It has specific outcomes others can respond to.

Thesaurus • In a thesaurus, you will find synonyms for words. • First, you look up the word in the thesaurus. Next to the word you will find a list of words that mean the same things as the word you looked up. • Like wonderful –great, magnificent, excellent, terrific, cool, and fantastic • Also in a thesaurus you will find an antonym for the word. Like horrible or awful would be an antonym for wonderful.

A sample text chat lesson plan • Before the class 1. Make contact with the teacher of a similar class in term of level, class size and access to technology 2. Learners also need to be confident about how to use the chat program. 3. With the teacher of other class, set a time for the chat. 4. Try out with other teacher before class
Class room management issues 1. Ideally learners are put in pairs for the first chat. 2. Learners can either conduct the cat in pairs, or consecutive learners can be allowed access to the same computer for a certain amount of time 3. Using voice chat rather than text chat in the single computer classroom
During the chat 1. Provide hand out worksheet 2. Each learner has a slightly different worksheet 3. Asking questions on their worksheet 4. Print out their chat script and complete the worksheet from that, once the cat is finished.
After chat 1. Display their profile in the classroom separately 2 Create learner profile in an inter-class blog
