Computers have been used in teaching for more than twenty years.But a new book says that only now are they changing education.And it predicts that a lot more is about to happen.
The book is called"Disrupting Class:How Disruptive Innovation Will Change the Way the World Learns.""Disruptive Innovation"is a theory developed by lead author Clayton Christensen,a professor at the Harvard Business School.He says organizations almost always use new,creative technology only to continue what they already do.
New technology should change organizations,he says,and disrupt them in a good way.They should use the technology to do things differently-for example,to serve more needs.The book says the needed disruptive force in education is computer-based learning.
Michael Horn,another author of"Disrupting Class",told us about a Boston public school that he visited.Every student at Lilla G.Frederick Middle School in Dorchester,MassachCusetts,has a laptop computer.One class was learning about storms.Michael Horn says the laptops made it possible to truly individualize (使個(gè)人化) the lessons,to divide materials by ability level and learning style.At the end,the students all took part in a discussion led by the teacher.
Computer-based learning offers a way for students to take advanced courses not offered at their school,or to retake classes they failed.It also serves those who cannot physically attend school,and students who receive home schooling.
Computer-based learning includes online courses.Enrollments (招生) in online courses have grown sharply.In 2007,the United States had about one million enrollments,not including college courses.Students could be enrolled in more than one course,through schools or education companies.High school students make up about seventy percent of the enrollments.Still,nationally,only about one percent of all high school courses last year were taught online.
But the authors of"Disrupting Class"predict it will be ten percent in about six years.And their research suggests that the number will be about fifty percent by 2019.And Michael Horn says the future of online learning could be even greater in developing countries.

  • 1."Quick,quick,slow,slow," my husband said as I was trying to focus.We frequently stepped on each other's feet.Both of us were being rhythmically challenged,and we figured a series of lessons might help us look somewhat elegant on the dancing floor.However,it didn't.
       It didn't matter that the lessons didn't pay off.Our learning something new together gave us a string of good memories,such as taking a Thai cooking class on a cold Chicago night and learning how to make classic cocktails (雞尾酒) in a common bar.These experiences are my best memories from the past 10 years.We always have such a great time when we're trying something new together.It seems to have strengthened our relationship,and makes me feel like we have a closer connection.
       It turns out my theory as such is backed by research.One study shows that learning new things with your spouse (配偶),friends,or partners,can strengthen your connection or friendship.But how exactly does this work?The key is vulnerability(弱點(diǎn)). "Learning new things together strengthens bonds because it is at those moments that we can show our vulnerability to one another,"says Dr.Hisla Bates. "When we are learning a new task,misfortunes and failures are bound to happen.In those moments when we fail,the other party can be there in favor of us.We can work together to find a solution,and working together helps deepen the connection."
       The benefits gained from learning new things with your partner can come from activities as small as hiking,trying a new recipe,going boating in the local lake or taking a fitness class together.You don't have to bungee jump or skydive to grow closer.Try selecting activities that both partners are unfamiliar with,as this will ensure you're on the same page.
       Trying to learn something new together once a month will benefit you and your spouse or friends.Overall,some of my best memories with my husband are the moments when we are learning something new together.

    (1)What were the author and her husband doing in Paragraph 1?

    A.Playing sports.
    B.Practising dance.
    C.Teaching lessons.
    D.Taking a walk.
    (2)What can we learn from the author's experiences?

    A.Practice makes perfect.
    B.Good memories last a long time.
    C.Processes matter more than results.
    D.Well begun is half done.
    (3)Why does learning new things together strengthen partners' relationship?

    A.It can encourage them to teach and praise each other.
    B.It helps improve the understanding of each other.
    C.It can reduce each other's loneliness and boredom.
    D.It helps find each other's weaknesses and offer support.
    (4)What's the best title for the text?

    A.The power of learning new things together
    B.The advantages of taking different lessons.
    C.The challenge of acquiring new knowledge.
    D.The importance of improving people's bonds.

  • 3.Let's take a minute to think about the water we use.The human body is 60% water and we need to drink lots of water to be healthy.When we are thirsty we just go to the kitchen and fill a glass with clean water.
       (1)
    For example,farmers,who produce the food we eat,use water to make the plants grow.When we turn on a light or switch on a TV or a computer we use energy and we need water to produce this energy.
       The truth is that we are lucky enough to have clean water whenever we want,but this is not the case for many people around the world. (2)
    That's around one in 10 people in the world.If we drink dirty water,we can catch diseases from the bacteria and become ill.Every year over 500,000 children die from diarrhea(腹瀉) from dirty water.That's around 1,400 children every day!Also,in some countries children walk many kilometres every day to get water. (3)
    Therefore,they don't have time to learn how to read or write and don't get an education.
       (4)
    On this day every year,countries around the world hold events to educate people about the problems of dirty water and that clean water is something that everyone should have around the world.At one school in the UK,children between the ages of 10 and 15 walk 6km with six litres of water. (5)
    People give them money to do this and all the money helps get clean water to as many people as possible around the world.

    A.We use water indirectly,too.
    B.Every system in our body depends on water to function.
    C.It is to inspire people to learn more about water-related problems.
    D.If children walk many hours a day to get water,they can't go to school.
    E.Did you know that around 750 million people do not have clean water to drink?
    F.In 1993 the United Nations decided that March 22nd is the World Day for Water.
    G.In this way,they know how it feels to walk a long distance carrying heavy bottles.
