[摘要] 电脑的发明及发展使人类进入了信息社会。信息技术与学科教学的整合，要求广大教师在学科的教学中广泛利用信息技术手段，努力培养学生的创新能力和实践能力。我校从创办开始就一直提倡信息技术与课程整合，实现了多媒体教学进入每一间教室。多媒体网络化教学成为教学的常规手段。如何有效地使用现代教育技术，充分发挥信息资源的优势以促进学生的学习是我们每一个老师认真思考和探讨的问题。

一、 案例背景
多媒体技术和网络技术的高速发展为信息技术和学科教学的整合提供了理想的资源与环境。新课程标准提出教师要充分利用现代教育技术，开发英语教学资源，拓宽学生学习渠道，改进学生的学习方式，提高学生的学习效率。要利用计算机和多媒体软件教学，促进学生的个性化学习。新课程标准也提出在教学中应增加开放性的任务型活动，提倡任务型教学，提高学生的自主学习能力。信息技术和任务型教学的整合打破了传统的教学模式，提高了学生的学习兴趣，有利于学生的互动学习，使学生成为学习的主体，完成设定的目标任务，从而使学生能主动、自主地学习知识和提高语言技能，增进对外国文化的理解，达到综合语言运用能力的提高。
下面是高一英语新教材（下）unit 14 Festivals，period 3的教学实践案例。

Ⅲ、教学过程
Step 1 Lead-in
以flash<<More than I can say>> 导入新课（上该课时正值情人节），轻快的歌曲和美丽的画面立刻引起了学生的注意。

说明：要求学生把自己整理的有关节日的资料组织成一篇文章，批改后
可以将优秀的上传到玉海中学网站，对学生的写作是一种鼓励，也是一种促进。
三、 案例思考
1.Internet 网络教学具有信息量大，交互性强，知识新，趣味性强等特点，但有时也不乏垃圾。所以教师必须课前提炼信息并把相关网站提供给学生，这样才能提高他们的学习效率，增加获取信息的数量，掌握更多的知识。
2.在设计任务时，教师应以学生的生活经验和兴趣为出发点。我在布置学生预习时，叫学生去找自己感兴趣的一个节日的有关信息，几乎全体学生都有去找，再加上提供了网站，学生获取信息的时间短了，信息量多了，也愿意去做了。
3.网络教学可以提供足够的信息支持他们的探索和设想，能力和创造力在不知不觉中得到了锻炼，是培养创新精神和学习能力的有效方法。我在教学中让学生比较宽札节和春节及圣诞节的异同，说出创建节日的好处及坏处，学生利用已找到的资料，节省了比较的时间，同时发展了他们的批判性思维能力和创新精神。
4.网络教学转变了教师在教学中的角色，不仅仅成为知识的传授者，而且成为学生学习的促进者、指导者、组织者、帮助者和评价者。教师在设计任务时能使学生成为真正的学习主体。
5.有利于培养和提高教师与学生借助多媒体和网络获取信息、处理信息和利用信息的能力，追求教学的最优组合。信息技术和英语学科的整合将使我们的教学手段更多样化，具有层次性，给学生创造一个更适合学习的开放的语言环境，使我们的英语教学跟上现代教育的需要。
