Teaching technology and teaching language!



week 6

As  I move in this Winter Course, I can notice that to implement a technology based lesson in a class, in a country where access to technology is not deeply rooted in the habits, we will need to teach first the tool, and teach the content afterward. I thus see that as a double responsibility. And It will not be easy when you have a large class. But when students learn how to use technology  and master it well, it could be a very interactive, fun and an unforgettable experience. Because of the plurality of the reactions there could be.

  1. I think that one possibility will be to have people, tech teachers who could help teachers to update them in their knowledge. But I dont think you have to wait for that to happen because when that is finished, new technology will come.
    It is true students will know more but they will help teachers to do the activities and you realize that knowledge is not only on teachers but on pupils too. They can be a great aid.

  2. Dear Yves,

    I agree totally with you when you say that implementing a technology change in a country where the use of technology is not common is a double responsibility. I think that when the learners are already accustomed to the use of technology, this can facilitate the introduction of the change and the first expected results will show up quickly.
