New technologies are certainly great teaching resources. I personally started using my laptop and video projector this year and I realised that that benfited me and my students. My work has become more interesting, easier and cleaner. Chalk and talk everyday turns your classroom into a boring place for you and your students. With the new technologies my students are more interested in attending my classes. The new technologies have made my work easier too. As an example, preparing visual aids and showing them is no more hard work. There are lots of ready made pictures on the web that you can edit and present effectively using MS Powerpoint. My work has also become cleaner. I couldn't put on my nice clothes when coming to the classroom because of the chalk I used. Now I have a white board(not yet interactive) and a laptop. The dusty days are to dust.
She took these words right out of my mouth )))
Students can learn more cultural information, visual context and body language from video. It gives learners confidence to learn and communicate.
