THE USE OF INTERNET
In education
FOUR BASIC FUNCTIONS OF THE
INTERNET
Grey (1999) has identified four ways in
which the internet can function as an
educational tool in the classroom and
these four ways are also applicable in
ESL/EFL classrooms.
FOUR BASIC FUNCTIONS OF THE
INTERNET
1.
2.
3.
4.
Search for and receive
Publish and provide
Talk to and reply
Collaborate and learn
FOUR BASIC FUNCTIONS OF THE
INTERNET
Search for and receive
Comprises activities that are based on
using the internet as a huge virtual
library.
In these activities students search for
and retrieve information from this library.
FOUR BASIC FUNCTIONS OF THE
INTERNET
Publish and provide
These activities involve not the retrieval,
but the publication of information.
This publishing is done on web pages,
which are the basic places where
information is stored on the internet.
FOUR BASIC FUNCTIONS OF THE
INTERNET
Talk to and reply
These are conversational activities that
take place via the internet through email
correspondence and in ‘chat’ rooms.
This category could also include
internet phone conversations.
FOUR BASIC FUNCTIONS OF THE
INTERNET
Collaborate and learn
This category includes joint projects that
involve students in two or more
classrooms that might be thousands of
miles apart.
This fourth way of integrating the
internet usually involves one or more of
the other three ways.
MULTIMEDIA DEVELOPMENT
User interface principles
Provide an organize structure
Provide a simple design
Keep the user interface visible
Provide informative feedback
Keep the user interface flexible
Minimize memory load
Provide shortcuts for frequent users

1. PLANNING
The business model, schedule, media plan
and focus group is determined
2. PRODUCTION
Material and assets for building the
application is produced and managed
Involves with planning and scheduling the
resources for the application
3. DESIGN
Effort responsible for creating a detailed
blueprint for the multimedia application
Such as conceptual overview, storyboard,
layout, interface design and information
design
4. DEVELOPMENT
All the content is created and processed
All the content and media used in the
application is integrated to become one
complete application
5. TESTING
To ensure the application is free from bug
and will be accepted by the user
Of there a bug, the application should be
revised and be tested again until the
application is free from bug
6. PUBLISHING
Once the application is tested and revised,
it could be burned into a CD-ROM or
published on the internet as a website
