The Internet in every classroom? Using outside computers

Many language education scholars and professionals consider that the ideal way to connect their classrooms to the Internet is to use Internet-connected computer labs in the school. Many publications cater to the needs of teachers who work in such ideal environments (Dudeney 2000; Eastment 1999; Teeler and Gray 2000; Warschauer, Shetzer, and Meloni 2000; Windeatt, Hardisty, and Eastment 2000). Yet many teachers work in situations where computer availability, and lab access to the Internet, are less than ideal. This article suggests several activities for teachers to use in these situations. The activities involve students using Internet-connected computers outside the classroom, including computers in school walk-in computer labs, self-access study areas, libraries, computers in local public libraries, community centres, and where possible at home.
