How Can Technology Influence Our Teaching?

Hello everyone! How are you doing? This assignment for this week was to talk about the influence of technology in the teaching process. Today my post is about the benefits and the issues related to technology! Nowadays technology is very important in everyone’s life. 
We use technology for almost everything, so why not use technology as an important tool for teaching. There are many ways we can use in order to make an interesting lesson and to make students active in the learning process. Technology allows students to become more independent in the classroom. Making use of technology to allow students the freedom to discover solutions to problems both independently and collaboratively is a force for good. 
As educators we strive for students to engage with our subject beyond a superficial level. We want them to be active learners, learners who have a thirst for discovery and knowledge. Technology places the world in the hands of every student inside the confines of your classroom. Besides all the positive aspects there is a drawback in the use of technology in the classroom : our country cannot afford the placement of technological tools in every school. Also we are not quite sure if the use of technology can successfully be implemented in the schools of our country. 
However, I think that the use of technology in the teaching process is a very productive method and should be used by every teacher. 
Have a nice week everyone!

Teaching Vocabulary through Listening and Speaking!

**Hello everyone!** How are you doing? The assignment for this week was to define a skill related to our presentation. At our final presentation we thought of teaching vocabulary through listening and speaking as the two main skills for developing students' communication and interaction skills. We combined different handouts, videos speaking activities and games as part of listening and speaking skill, to make the class more interesting and to make the learning process easier. Good luck on your projects. Have a nice week!

Hello again everyone! Today we presented our project. To be honest I was very nervous at the beginning because being the first duo to present the project has it's advantages and disadvantages, and I was scared that things might not go the way we planned, but the presantation went very well and we had a lot of fun. In my opinion incorporating teaching with technology is a very good idea because students are more attentive during the learning process and the process becomes more interesting. Also with the help of images, videos, handouts and different games we can make learning easier for them. We had worked a lot for this project and I'm happy everything went well. I hope you all will have a good experience with the project. Be practical. Keep it simple and you will succeed. Good luck to all of you. 😊😊
