The ICT presentation was a great experience lived during
this semester. It enabled us to discover new things about technology and its
usage in teaching. It is important that we as teachers know better and new
techniques to teach English. Students nowadays are really interested in
technology, so we need to find new strategies to incorporate it in our classes
and, therefore, interest students.During these presentations, we had the opportunity to learn
new ways of using different parts of technology and internet such as the web
2.0 that includes: social networks, web pages, blogs, wikis, etc. it was really
useful for us since we know that our students like to use this kind of websites
just for fun. However, by taking part in these presentations, we could discover
how to get the most out of technology in our classes.New generations are more and more involved in technology, and our duty as
teachers is to show them how to use it for their own learning. But how are
going to do that if we, ourselves, do not know how to use technology for
educational purposes?Therefore, we consider that these ICT presentations were
really important for our daily growing as teachers as they gave us useful
pieces of advice to incorporate technology effectively in our classes. We as
teachers need to update our teaching style so as to fulfill our students’ needs. Hence, we need to know many things
about technology to help our students in their learning process. However, we need to know how to apply technology effectively
in teaching since not all students have the same access to it. We need to be
aware of what the conditions of our students are before using technology so
that we do not run into trouble when developing an activity. It is important to remember that there might be some technological tools that are not
suitable for our environment. For this reason, we need not only to know how to
use technology but also how to apply it in our teaching environment.That is why, we consider that this has been one of the most
significant topics in this semester. If well-used, technology can help us to go
beyond in our teaching and learning process.
