Getting ready to go back to school in the good old days of, say, 1998 meant a few trips to the mall and a quick check of the bus route. This year, for many parents, there are some new things to remember: the teacher’s E-mail address, the school’s website and which night online homework help chat will be offered. "The next school year will be the one when the majority of parents really feel the Internet’s influence on their children’s education at the everyday level," says Jonathan Carson, chairman of the Family Education Co. , which offers a parenting website at www. familyeducation.com and a framework for local schools to create and maintain their own sites.
This year promises to show a quantum leap in the spread of school technology: Parents in many districts can expect to be able to check the school lunch menu, read class notes, see activity calendars and view nightly homework assignments -- all online. "The schools are wired," says Carson. "A majority of parents now have access and the educators are ready to go."
Over the summer, parents of high school German students in Ithaca, N. Y. got to be part of a class trip to Europe, through their home computers. The class brought a digital camera and laptop with them to Germany and documented their visit on their web page. Harry Ash, father of 16-year- old traveler Brian, found it reassuring to see his son’s smiling face from half a world away. Before their kids left parents had checked the site for scheduling information, a list of activities and advice on cultural differences.
When it’s designed well, a district, school or classroom website can change the relationship between the parent and the school, says Cynthia Lapier, Ithaca’s director of information and instructional technology. "The more you can involve parents in school, the better," Lapler says. "The technology gives us another way to reach them, especially parents of secondary school students, who tend to be less involved."
Ithaca high school physics teacher Stever Wirt gets E-mail from parents regularly, some from the parents he believes might otherwise not pick up the phone with a concern. Using software called Blackboard Courseinfo, Wirt conducts online chats with his students often reviewing for a quiz or discussing homework problems.
The way things are going, by the end of this year, many parents may be fully converted --and in fact dependent upon their schools’ technological capabilities. At a recently wired school in Novi, Michigan, the school webmaster was just a few hours late posting the lunch-menu calendar on the website. In that time, more than a dozen parents called him by telephone to request the information. "A year ago, it never would have been there," says Carson. And now parents are finding it’s tough to get by without it.
The passage can be best titled as ______.
选项
A、Get Ready to Go to School
B、Spread School Online Technology
C、Start School with a Click
D、Become School Webmaster
答案
C
解析
全文讨论的是信息技术给学校教育带来的便利。网络为家长提供了极大的方便,使家长不出家门就可以了解孩子在学校的活动。即使像文中所举的 Ithaca学校的例子那样孩子离家旅行,通过网络的帮助,也可以通过网络及时了解他们的信息,所以C项“点击鼠标上学去”为最佳标题。A项反映不出网络技术带给学校教育的便利这一主题,故错误。文章并非呼吁要推广信息技术,所以B项错误。D项也不能概括文章大意。
