I have recently come across a very interesting and informative article entitled Where Computers Do Work. It is a report of six schools in the United States with lessons to teach the reader about computer technology. The article emphasizes the fact that The most important is that technology is not magic. It s how they re used. E-mail can be more than chatter.
Technology can help special kids, too.
We believe that technology cannot substitute a good language teacher but it can supplement and facilitate our teaching. The students felt that these activities helped them to improve vocabulary and reading skills as well as grammar. Apart from these linguistic skills, the CALL activities enabled them to co-operate, use a word processor and learn more about the world. I also tried to incorporate the use of e-mail to the Foundation English Course II at CULI in December 1996. To encourage a group work project, I divided my students into small groups.
