Why should language teachers try computers?

For years I have encouraged students and teachers to use ICT with an educational purpose. However reality has also discouraged many of them: the computer room was rarely available for teachers of English and students tend to switch to MSN as soon as they can…

Here are some experiences carried out with my students (as a teacher) and with other colleagues (as a teacher advisor). Being reluctant or feeling insecure about technical problems is just part of the gamble… but I feel proud of having overcome difficulties.

That´s why I want to share it in this blog. Teaching and learning with ICT means fun and hard work; preparation and lost time at home to achieve some bits.

Here are shown some of the activities: let´s think that students enjoyed and learned by reading, writing, browsing and creating links on the net.

Suggestions about useful programmes or links are welcome!
