Reflection based on the article: CALL Me… Maybe: A Framework for
Integrating the Internet into ELT by
George M. Chinnery.
The article presents different alternatives to integrate the internet into language teaching, what is really interesting to me is the fact that integrating technology with education has become extremely fundamental, maybe in our country we are still in process but in other countries students are at a higher level in the use of applications and mobile services, George M. Chinnery author of this article makes me think that students and teachers from more developed countries not only use the Internet but they also create and present new contents, while we only learn how to use the tools they already have, copying their learning models, and this is definitely because in our country not all students and teachers have daily access to the Internet and schools do not encourage us from childhood to thecreation and design of new ideas.
On the other hand, intenet is giving us hundreds of tools where we can access videos, podcasts, interactive documents and websites where someone can learn creatively, or even speak with native speakers of the language, which makes it more awesome because exist a cultural exchange. Young people today prefer to learn visual and innovatively, the use of the internet generates a plus.
To conclude with my reflection, access to the Internet or not does not mean that we can not find a way to bring new ideas to our classroom.
Thank you for reading!

That is right, not all students have unlimited acces to internet, for instance, if we plan to assign them something online, do not evaluate it. It has to be options for them to be assessed and to improve. Evaluating something they do not have access to because of scarce resources will just reduce their academic progress instead of having them learning something.
ResponderBorrarthat is really true, is the teacher will asign a activity he or she have to be shure that students have acces to te internet because not all the students have acces to internet of have a computer, but is important to mention that the use of the technology is a important and useful tool for the learning process for students.
