TECHNOLOGY IN THE CLASSROOM

Technology in language teaching is not new .Indeed; technology has been around in language teaching for decades; if we classify the blackboard as a form of technology. Tapes recorders, language laboratories and video have been in use and are still used in classroom around the world. We hear about technology and how wonderful the benefits are to the education system. Although, this may be true, teachers and students vary in how they teach and how they learn. For some teachers, using technology is the best way to work in the class, and It’ is an excellent way to let your students participate more and feel that they’ re given an important and more active role in the class For others, technology is unfamiliar and rarely used. This usage of technology is the same for students. Some use technology on a regular basis and are familiar with the use of it, they are more likely to thrive. Others are afraid of new technology. Either way, there are several benefits of technology: technology is easier to work with and present information, students will be entertaining, and it keeps the class active and the conversations flowing.
In my view, Technology can be a wonderful tool in the classroom, but we must understand how to use it appropriately.
