The incredible development of technologies throughout the last decades has made impossible not to incorporate them into the classroom. Every day gone makes it harder for a student to grab a book and search for information; it is more likely that student will turn to a computer and search for the information needed. In this scenery, wouldn’t it be more useful to integrate technology to the teacher’s advantage?
For this assignment, we were asked to choose an online tool which could be used inside a classroom to help language learning. Please download our WIKI ppt to know more about the subject.
Reflection
I believe that not including technology as a new method of teaching is a huge mistake. Although clearly the internet could work against us, if we as teacher learn how to use it to our advantage we could gain major profits. Firstly, it is a great way to keep our students interested in the task to develop. Secondly, it promotes collaborative work. Thirdly, there is infinite information and resources that students can access, and finally students can work with it anywhere.
There is no doubt that online tools are a great way to enhance social and higher thinking skills; however, we need to supervise these activities. We must not forget that students usually use technologies to play and to chat. Teachers have the duty to remind students that there is a time for everything and that during classes they are required to work.
