NEW DIGITAL TRENDS IN THE CLASSROOM AND MY GREAT RESOURCE
It is commonly accepted that presently, technology makes our lives easier. However, we can’t always stick to this statement, as we need to know how we can take the most of them and try to include them in a way that our students can acquire some knowledge. What is clear, though, is that digital tools don’t only provide opportunities to study language, but to use language.
Moreover, we should always consider the fact that when using technology in classroom, we are preparing our learners for the challenges of the 21st century, as students might need to use digital tools to accomplish many tasks in their future (jobs, examinations, etc.)
Digital tools are a reality outside the classroom, and they are naturally entering into it. For this reason, I have been researching around the use of technology in the English classroom, and I have made my top ones.

These tools sound good, right? Can you imagine having all of them in one click? In one of our seminars, we devoted much time to work on that, and we created a symbaloo which includes some excellent digital tools! |
