内容简介

Though the Internet has increased vastly our capacity to　know things，to communicate with others and to get information　quickly and widely，some reactions among US towards its utiliza　tion in culture teaching and learning are typically emotion—driven．There are those in whom it evokes anxiety and confUSion．There　are also those whose uncritically enthusiastic embracing of the In—ternet may produce equally negative results．The Internet links　distant places and diverse areas of cultures in new productive　ways．It allows US to form and sustain communities for WOrk．play，and learning in ways unimaginable j ust a decade ago．It　changes the relationship between people and knowledge．It　quickens the steps of the globalization．Yet，the full applications　of the Internet in culture teaching do not mean the abandonment　of the traditional pedagogy．The Internet has the capacity to an　hance and enrich teaching．But an intoxicated fascination with its　technology at the expense of sound pedagogy can only be harm　ful，for all　ts superficial attractions．
