The teacher must still organize and guide research, provide advice and encouragement, coach and provoke inquisitiveness. In the end, however, it is the students who must do the learning. The use of technology to access the enormous potential of the World Wide Web, as well as the huge quantities of information stored on CD-ROMs, means that research can be carried to new lengths.
