TRY IT OUT: LESSON 21/ INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY

When Technology is the topic, I think it is useless if you do not use it as stimuli to instantiate a response from our students. So, from that perspective. I like to use technology as a means to arise debate over a controversial topic. This is one ficticious example of how I do to engage students in online activities.

However, last week we had a problem with the university chatroom, so we decided it to do it through skype with a maximum of 9 participants each time. To be honest, the idea was not mine, but one of my students’. He told me that when I ask them to write a dialogue, they use this tool not to alter family weekend. They agree on a certain time and comply with the homework.

It made me think that to be a XXI century teacher, you have to go with the times not behind.
