For those who have read my post on the nicenet about the websearch and got interested in the last site I recommended "SweetSearch", it would be quite time-saving to watch this slide show first and then dig into the site if still interested.
Hope you find it informative
Hi Sebnem,
ReplyDeleteThanks for this great link "SweetSearch"- I missed it somehow.
These days most teachers use task based learning. It's a model that is not successful with students as they are used to learning by experimenting, which is how they learn today, which is a consequence of the use of new technologies. Students are used to getting the hand of new devices, and learn anything on the Internet. It is what they need these days, to let them experiment and learn by themselves. Teachers are no more authorities if they don’t open a new world for the students. I myself don't like to be that person. I prefer to be a helper, guide and facilitator and I can offer help when needed . I perceive a teacher as facilitator assisting learners. When students are responsible for their own learning, they learn more effectively.
If you visit that site
www.shapingenglish.ning.com you will find some materials there now and more will be posted soon.
Hi
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice blog! I like it and you do apply technology with the video. I agree that technology should be used in Education not just in English language teaching class. What do you think?

Thanks it is really informative. I believe integrating technology in our language classes adds motivation and enthusiasm to our classes. Students will be enjoying practicing and using the language.
