| Title | Internet media in the classroom |
| Body | I did an independent project with a student this semester that worked pretty well. She did a review of the week's news from France in online media and wrote several short summary articles that were developed into a newsletter. The editing of the first 2-3 drafts focused entirely on language communication and accuracy. They were done in plain text format in MS Word. For the final draft, she used some electronic publishing skills that she already possessed to turn her articles into a newsletter format. The grade was based entirely on the writing. Although I made suggestions and critiqued the format, that was not a part of the grade. I think that teachers can avoid some of the negative impact of technology interference with writing and distraction from the language component by separating the two skills, limiting the technology to things that will not require significant learning time, and using rubrics that clearly show what is important by assigning a low percentage of the grade to techno glitz and a high percentage to meeting high language expectations.
