The first report on Chinese application on the Internet

One of the most valuable resouce in this book is the first report on an educator, Mr. Fang of San Francisco, who used Internet with his Chinese English Language Learners to communicate with the world in Chinese. When most of the world just heard of the word "World Wide Web," he and his student were already publishing an online secondary school student magazine in Chinese. They also realized live chatting using Chinese characters on AOL. This is really amazing.

An excellent resource for computer application in class

This is yet to be the first complete resource on how to implement computer integration of curriculum in classrooms. When computers are placed into our classrooms, most teachers do not have any idea on how to use them. This book serves as a wonderful resource to guide teachers step by step to set up a successful program. Also, it provides probably the first case study on how ESL students can benefit from computer based instruction in Chinese and how computers process a non-roman language like Chinese.
