Maria Nilce's workshop (05/16/2008)



Technology is causing a revolution in education. I think it’s extremely important, the education became more appealing and students have more sources of knowledge. It also became faster, if we recall how it was to teach English twenty years ago. For example to teach listening using a tape, every time that the teacher wanted to repeat the listening he had to rewind the tape, and it took time to get it in the right part.

The e-board which was shown to us in Maria Nilce’s workshop is a good example of modern devices that can be used to teach English in an involving way. Almost all the people like technology, so I think using this kind of board keep students attentive and they get motivated. Teachers can do basically whatever they want with an e-board, it’s a multipurpose appliance. Teachers can play songs with it play movies, do listening activities, fill in exercises, whatever. I was astonished with that. Since technology evolves quickly, much more are about to come.
