Answer to Question 1

Instructor: The adult must take the most active role to guide the children through the various steps necessary to explore the computer. Coach: As the children gain experience, the adult can withdraw, allowing the children to work independently or with their peers. The adult becomes a facilitator providing support as needed. Model: Adults can demonstrate how stories can be recorded on the computer or use the computer to produce classroom materials.

Answer to Question 2

Integrated learning describes the use of interrelated disciplines such as language, math, or science to achieve a goal. Children can work in a group or individually on a project. Their process may entail using the computer to write reports, stories, letters, or poems. They can use the Internet to research information to be included in a report or to extend their knowledge to related areas.
