Web opening new classroom doors - AMY HETZNER, Journal-Sentinal
When students from her 10th-grade honors class returned from summer break, Arrowhead High School teacher Kathy Nelson organized an online open-house activity to discuss three novels they had read during their time off. After six hours, the English teacher at the Hartland school had a 178-page transcript of her students' dialogue and a new appreciation of the power the remote technology of the Internet can lend to the sometimes intensely interpersonal field of teaching. "You think of computers as being cold," she said. "But they were really into some deep topics."
