How to Teach with Technology

-
Welcome to my first post, everyone! How are you doing? I hope you are staying safe and healthy. 😊

Readers, do you know that we are every day enjoying the development of technology? Perhaps, you are familiar with social media, YouTube videos, and Netflix. You may also frequently seek information from the internet. We can enjoy those things thanks to technology. 

In addition, technology has also been very helpful in the field of education. We can learn a great deal of knowledge using technology. There are also a lot of useful online tools out there that help people to learn and teach English. A lot of teachers are starting to integrate technology into their classrooms. However, to have an effective teaching and learning process, teachers have to know the effective ways to teach with technology. According to the article "How to Teach with Technology" by Y. G. Harto Pramono, there are several tools that could help teachers teach English better. Those tools include websites, internet-based project work, social software, technology-based software, and electronic materials. Those 5 topics are summarized by CALT class students in the form of presentation videos. Here are the links of their presentation videos: 


Those presentation videos cover all tools that teachers can use to support the teaching and learning process. Hopefully, technology could help teachers take teaching to the next level where they can be creative in their teaching so that the learning processes would be effective, engaging, and beneficial for students. Thank you everyone for reading this post! See you in the next post.
