Why CyberEnglish

Cyber English addresses how we change our classroom practices as teachers to make education more effective and better for all. It is constructivism. It is a response to demands by society to engage in the educational paradigm shifts and to get beyond the status quo. Cyber English is "out of the box" thinking and practice. Cyber English is the blend of technology and humanities, a paradox, oxymoron. It taps into the future work and lving environment of technology with old world humanities. Cyber English allows me to practice my pedagogical theories which will emerge as I present my practice via student work, my own published writings, observations by others, and from my presentations. Perhaps the most important reason for Cyber English is that it puts the process of learning in the hands of the learner and allows the teacher to teach and guide them and watch them learn how to learn and have fun doing it. And of course the greatest reward is reading their webpages which bear out my correct assumptions about why Cyber English is so important. One final note about its importance is that during the years I taught this course in a NYC public high school of 3200 students, I consistently had the highest attendance rate in the school and more 100% attendance days than other classes each of those years. That helps me understand why Cyber English was so important.
