EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY AND OTHER LEARNING RESOURCES

The purpose of this paper is to show that educational technology is much more than improving learning, it

is about transforming learning which means overcoming traditional educational approaches and replacing them with revolutionary new paradigms of teaching, learning and schooling;

to provide an overview of modern teaching practices related to the use of computers and Internet in the language classroom;

to present some useful resources for teachers; to present a study that shows the importance of integrating modern technology

into the language classroom.

CHAPTER 1 THE USE OF THE INTERNET IN LANGUAGE TEACHING

It relies mainly on the following books: Warschauer and Healey (1998), Motteram (2013), Warschauer, Shetzer and Meloni (2002), Hubbard (2009), Gamper and Knapp (2002).

It focuses on the use of the Internet in the English classes and it offers a few glimpses of how teachers and students can use computers in the process of language learning.

This chapter deals with the field of computer assisted language learning (CALL) and its stages of development.

It analyzes the relation between the language skills and CALL and the characteristics of the Internet-based communication as well as future trends of the computer language classroom.

This chapter also refers to the Internet resources most valuable to teachers of English. It gives information for our professional development and classroom needs.

It also discusses how English language teachers can use the Internet to communicate with colleagues and find professional resources focusing on the use of e-mail communication.

CHAPTER 2COMMUNICATION, COLLABORATION AND DISTANCE EDUCATION VIA COMPUTERS AND THE INTERNET

The chapter relies on in Warschauer, Shetzer & Meloni, (2002), Demiray & Sever, (2009), Barron (1999), Tibi & Tibi (2009) and O’Lawrence’s study (2007).

This chapter focuses on ways in which the Internet is used for communication and for collaborative projects with students in a single class or across classes in different parts of the world.

It also deals with the phenomenon of distance education which due to the growth of the Internet seems to enjoy a great popularity.

CHAPTER 3THE IMPACT OF INTEGRATING MODERN TECHNOLOGY ON PARTICIPATING STUDENTS. CASE STUDY

  According to Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences and the Constructivism theories people learn, remember, perform and understand things in different ways therefore teachers should be able to exploit the variety of ways in which learners learn a material.In Gordon’s opinion, what is needed in classrooms today is increased autonomy, more collaborative work, more global connections, richer learning resources, more inquiry, interdisciplinary, project-based learning.The Intel Teach Program which we used in the research advocates the same view of learning and teaching. The main thesis of this research is to evaluate the impact of the Intel Teach Program on the selected group (ITP) of students’ learning in comparison to the other parallel group (TTM) where traditional teaching methods were used in the process of learning.The secondary theses attempt to demonstrate the following points:

  The ITP improves students’ computer skills. The ITP influence students’ attitude towards the use of technology.

CASE STUDY

In order to gather information about the impact of the program on students’ learning, their attitude towards the use of technology and the computer skills they gained, the teacher used instruments such as:

assessment activities / summative test a computer skills questionnaire an attitude toward the use of technology questionnaire The Intel Teach Program (ITP) was integrated in one 7th grade class, 3rd year

of English study while with the other parallel class traditional teaching methods were applied as it resides from the learning plan unit and the lesson plan to show the efficiency of ITP in the process of learning and find modern methods which may motivate students to learn and achieve language and computer skills.

LEARNING GAINED

The results of the summative assessment show clearly that the ITP students successfully solved the test items and obtained better results than the TTM students which undoubtedly proves that better understanding of lessons is acquired when students participate in real life situations, when they have the opportunity to develop effective research skills and when they do collaborative work rather than when students work individually, doing routine and mechanical exercises.

Conclusion 

The experiment carried out in this paper demonstrated clearly that teaching with projects is an enjoyable and motivating method of learning and assessing students. The study conducted in this chapter intended to make use of technology so that students should be able to take pleasure in learning foreign languages in a different manner which proved successful as it adjusted students to the requirements of the modern society. It offered a model of integrating modern technologies into the language classroom and enhanced students’ social and metacognitive skills, promoting problem-solving, critical thinking and collaboration skills.
