Presentations are peer-reviewed by teachers who have a strong background in computer applications. It is not enough to examine the technologies simply from the perspective of what the machines and networks allow. One must also look at these technologies through the pedagogical lens of actual teachers applying the technology to specific situations. It is important to seek perfection and excellence in a particular field of application. From this basis of expertise, one can better extrapolate to other areas.
Language learning is a good challenge for technology in education.
Language learning is a complex process, not easily resolved by traditional programmed learning techniques. Language learning involves adapting to computer and Web use by novices, both in terms of computers and in terms of language. One's instructions and approach can take nothing for granted and must build a knowledge framework from scratch. While the empty links are active, it will take some time before the themselves are completed. While primitive, it points the way to future learner-computer interactions.
