Technology,multimedia and different tools


We need to provides an important grounding for the improvement of the students level in schools. If we use different tools,It  provides equity of
opportunity, regardless of background. General social commentary and the
popular press tend to generalise about young people, their access to and use of
technology. Recent literature have challenged these assumptions and acknowledge
that, although students today may have been born into a technologically rich
world, they may not be avid and skilful users of technology. Further, there is recognition that merely providing access to
technology is not enough. Meaningful development of technology based
knowledge and skills is important for all students, in order to avoid a phenomenon
known as the ‘second-level digital divide’, whereby people have drastically
differentiated skills, which in turn influence how people participate in society.
The need to keep pace with society and prepare students for their roles in
society are just two reasons to use technology in education. Educators and
researchers point to the potential of technology to increase motivation and
engagement of learners, cater for different learning styles and improve learning
outcomes.
When we talk about technology in teaching and learning, the word
‘integration’ is often used. The idea of integrating technology into the curriculum
came about through a concern that we may have been teaching about and teaching
how to use technology but not addressing how students can apply technology
related knowledge and skills. To address this problem, there was a move to
integrate technology into each key learning area.
With technology now being part of our everyday lives, it is time to rethink the
concept of integrating technology into the curriculum.

Communicative language learning

Edit Communicative language teaching  (CLT) emphasizes interaction as both the means and the ultimate goal of learning a language. Despite a number of criticisms, it  continues to be popular, particularly in  Japan ,  Taiwan , a nd Europe. In India CBSE ( Central Board of Secondary Education) has adopted this approach in its affiliated schools. The  task-based language learning  approach to CLT has gained ground in recent years. Proponents believe CLT is important for developing and improving speaking, writing, listening, and reading skills, and that it prevents students' merely listening passively to the teacher without interaction.Dogme is a similar communicative approach that encourages teaching without published textbooks, instead focusing on conversational communication among the learners and the teacher.

The use of electronic dictionaries during learning process!

Hi everyone! We all know that during the process of learning vocabulary the pupils need to use the dictionary.In the first place,it is hard and boring using all the time a book dictionary.If the pupils have an electronic one,they can learn vocabulary easier.
