Teaching with Technology

Familiarize your L2 learners with websites and activities that will strengthen their communicative skills.  This is a good teaching idea because it helps everyone in the class with technical language and helps those that are visual learners.   Using the internet as a pedagogical resource will allow student to become connected to other users.  Also, introduce  students to some instructional technology such as: “What are Web Widgets?” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRAmQ_m2asg&feature=player_embedded, Wikipedia  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page, or show them  “How to Build a Website”  using WordPress http://wordpress.com/
