Teaching and learning before technology
was very boring , With the vast development of technology, It becomes something
very intersting. When I become a teacher I will use
different types of technology tools to help me teach, , and tell them about the importance of the usage the social networks in our
life, especially in education.
I would use
social networks such as blogger ,wikis and Delicious with my students as much as I can to improve their learning . These online tools are very
helpful for both teachers and students
blogger is one of the very good and
useful tools for students. I would like to teach my students first, how they
can be use it. Second, ask them to create an account and following each others.
Third, ask them to write posts and add comments for each other's without copy
and past .students should post at least three times monthly ,then I will give
them feedback .
At the reading class, I will give them an article to paraphrase, and write
their reflection. For example, I may give them an article about the use of
technology in education , and ask them to paraphrase it. Then, the they have to
write about the importance of using technology in education and how to use it effectively . They also have
to reply on three of their classmates posts.
Wikis are excellent website
for collaboration. Wikis are a wonderful tool for students to work together and
produce high quality texts.
If I use wiki with
my students, I will put the assignments and the handouts on wiki. I would
divide the class into groups; each group will have their wiki. I’ll post some
topics related to our course, each group will select a topic and collect and search
information about it then post it in their group and discuss it with their
classmates . The wiki also has a lot of communication features so I could set
up online discussion / forum tasks with students so that they could discuss the
story and make decisions about how they want to change or develop it.
Delicious is a social bookmarking site
where we can save links to all of our favorite websites. In delicious the
students can add and share links with
others that they need it in their courses.
I would ask my
students to make their own Delicious and for each lesson they have to add a website that they find it useful and
beneficial to our lesson, and share it with their classmates. It's a useful and
enjoyable way to share links that will
help them in developing their English language. I will use it with my students
to add useful links that help them understand more .
These websites can improve the
teaching quality and the students achievement. Technology really help
developing and enhancing the learning process .
