Pay Attention

Please, watch this video and let's think about this questions:

Are we, as teachers of English, taking into account that we are teaching to digital learners?
When you plan a lesson, you are conscious that all your students learn in a different way?
Do you plan your lesons according to the different learning styles?
If you do, what else can you do for improving your way of teaching?



Hope you enjoy this video and also I hope you like it as much as I do. This video really makes me reflect about my work inside the classroom and also it makes me reflect about how I am planning my lessons.

Let's Discuss!

Here is a discussion in a topic that I'm very interested in.

As future teacher of English I am very keen on new technology, because I am only 25 years old I prefer to teach English using PPT, Websites, Videos, etc.

So, according to the topic "teaching with Technology" do you think it is important to teach English using technology? or you prefer to learn or teach English with worksheets, books and focused on the old boring method??

I am looking forward to your answers!!!!
