		E-mail for the Classroom Teacher ^Votes:0 E-mail for the Classroom Teacher Why would a teacher want to use e-mail? Let's look at the answer to that question in two parts: from a personal, professional perspective, and from the perspective of what your students could do with e-mail.

We are both fascinated by the Internet and email teaching, and are in search of ways to test their applicability with students. To accomplish one of our goals, we decided to initiate a project in which our students would correspond via email. Its main objective was to help students to improve their writing and reading skills through this medium. The project was carried out in the first semester of 1997. The correspondence began after we had briefly Read More Go to Site
