1. WEB BASED INSTRUCTION
METHOD
The World Wide Web is merely a tool, as is a chalkboard, overhead
projector, or VCR. Tools don't teach. When effectively
implemented they assist in the learning process. If learning on the
part of the students has been helped by the use of a tool, then the
tool has been used successfully.

any information that would be useful to them.

information in a form that goes beyond text and takes advantage of the media that
will help students understand better and to which they can relate more easily.
