Technology integration tips and instructions.Part2

The teacher can integrate technology to teach the English language using tools according to the teaching methodology used, within the technological tools to disseminate information, they can implement:

1. Visit websites where they promote the learning of English language in its different areas: Listening, writing, reading and speaking.
For example.

2. Vocabulary word or map for students.
Have students create a report on the new vocabulary of new words they learn, carrying a log or map word vocabularies. Students rich his vocabulary every day.

3. Blog.
Blogs are a free form of web-based journals. They can contain links, images, audio and text. They are a great way to engage your students in writing. Blogs provide an opportunity for self writing assessment along with peer assessment. Students will love to see their work published.

4. Add a Discussion forum to your Web page.
Facilitate a dialogue between students with an online forum or bulletin board. Use one of the free shareware systems available online.
Try visiting http://www.yabbforum.com/ to see how they work. You can act as the moderator, editing and approving postings, or you can shift this responsibility to a small group of students.
Forums are excellent vehicles for discussion about almost any subject. Students can discuss personal responses to literature or history, compare findings in science experiments, discuss the latest current event, or pose ways to solve a challenging math task.

5. Digital portfolios.
Consider allowing a paper alternative for students without home access to a computer or adequate computer skills. It is essential to create a rubric which allows for equal treatment of the non-digital portfolio. If students have created online projects for class assignments, they can make screen captures of Web pages or capture video stills that can be printed out for inclusion in a paper-based portfolio. They can also include storyboards, scripts, or other non-electronic forms of documentation.

6. Creating multimedia presentations.
Have students create a multimedia presentation about a facet of the content. The end goal should be to present and teach the information to someone who doesn't know anything about the subject. Students will need to identify an audience for their presentation and the scope of information to be presented. Chose a medium of presentation that students are familiar with so that they don't spend excess time learning a new software program.

7. Add Internet activities.
Incorporate at least one Internet-based business unit. Ask your coordinator for classroom Informatics lessons on ideas. Revise for items that have a connection to the real world and search the Internet for related sites. You can also visit your site textbook to get ideas for these activities. Consider developing a WebQuest for your unit.
