Dear all!

This week marks the end of our ten weeks training. We learned many interestng things as far as TECHNOLOGY is concerned in relation to language Learning and teaching.  I found all the topics covered very interestng and also very helpful for my classes. The use of technology Tools helps save time and facilitates the tasks both for the students and the teacher. These technology Tools help the learner  be really involved in the Learning process which will lead to autonomy. I learned about ABCD objectives which is important before any teaching to take place. I learned about different types of assessment, types of learners, etc.
I found the topics about ABCD objectives, Reading/Writing websites and technology-enhanced lessons, Learner styles: technology connections, Academic blogs an Nicenet discussions very successfull.  All of them are really ueful for me. The technology Tools that I will use are academic blogs, E-mails (through Nicenet that I 've already started using with my students), using websites and technology-enhanced lessons.
This course (Webskills) was demanding some basic knowledge of computer science. I thought it would be good if some notions were given before the begnning of the program. It is true that all participants do not have the same difficulties.
In addition, the use of technology should be integrated in language Learning where this does not exist. But the difficulties in some places like ours make it difficult so that we need to apply it with other plans: one computer classroom, audio devices use and others. 

Many thanks to all for sharing your experiences. Special thanks to DONNA who really devoted her time and energy for us. Thank you Donna.
