Description
As the second decade of the 21st century begins, professional development on computer literacy becomes essential for teachers. Many educators are not yet aware of the variety of applications that new technologies offer or the way in which they can be used to encourage students to produce creative pieces of work. This seminar will introduce an array of Internet resources that can be applied to the teaching of English and that can motivate students’ use of new technologies in a creative way to support their learning. The aim of this talk is to raise educator's awareness of the latest web 2.0 applications that can be used both in and outside the classroom, including blogs, wikis, social networks and, above all, the numerous interactive tools that may be applied to their lessons.
